13th-century manuscript produced in England containing a selection of theological works from the 'Opuscula sacra' of Boethius, Sermons of St Augustine, and excerpts from Eadmer, Anselm, St Gregory of Tours, St Caesarius of Arles, and Bernard of Clairvaux; as well as two annonymous excerpts, the 'Gesta Salvatoris' and a commentary on Psalm 84.

The manuscript has been dated to the 13th century by Ker, and to the early 14th century by Borland, Römer, and Schenkl.

The work is written in littera textualis throughout, although there are several hands present.

Folio 1 is a half-leaf. On the recto side is the old shelfmark as well as two ex libris inscriptions. On the verso is a table of contents with initials coloured blue, green, and red. Arabic numerals have been added in the margin, but have later been erased. The names of authors have also been added in the margins, possibly in the hand of Sir James Balfour.

Each folio, recto and verso, has been lined and ruled in plummet. Pricking is occasionally visible for both the horizontal and vertical lines. From folio 204r onwards the ruling is in a different style, and is accompanied by a notable change of hand.

The decoration is not consistent throughout the volume. Incipits and explicits are in red. For the start of each new work there are blue and red deocrated initials with red and blue filigree penwork extending into the margins, but the extent of decoration varies. Larger initials are occasionally stroked with red. Guide initials are infrequently visible in the margins, however, most have been cropped. On folios 55r, 79r, 93v, and 119r there are gold leaf initials on backgrounds of pale lake and blue, with white tracery and conventional centre designs in gold.

There are frequent marginal annotations and textual references, some scribal and some near-contemporary. Folios 165r to 203v have marginal chapter headings and textual references given in red. There are numerous interlineal additions, deletions, and ammendments throughout the volume.

Horizontal catchwords are present on folios 25v and 211v.

There are a few contemporary repairs to the vellum, but these are infrequent.
