14th-century manuscript containing Books 1-5 of the 'Consuetudines Normanniae', the laws and customs of Normandy from the 13th and 14th centuries. The Summary Catalogue of the National Library of Scotland suggests that the manuscript was written in France. Dolezalek has suggested that England may be the place of production.

The manuscript is the work of one scribe and is written in a small gothic bookhand in double columns of 31 lines each.

On folio 1r is a misattributed title, 'Leges Ludovi[ci] Regis', probably because several statutes of Louis VII are inserted.

Folio 70, which presumably was previously a paste-down, is a vellum bifolium from an unidentified theological work. It is written in double columns and spaces have been left for rubrical additions, which have never been carried out. The text visible in this fragment appears to relate to the doctrine of the Real Presence, mentioning the Last Supper and appears to be a commentary on another work, also unidentified, which seems to take much of its language from the Bible. Pope Urban IV (1264) may be referred to in column 1 of the verso. There is no similar endpaper at the front of the volume.

A rubric occupies the centre of the head of each folio recto and verso: on each verso, the capital ‘L’, for ‘Liber’, in red; on each recto, the Roman numeral for the particular book. The numerals for books ‘I’ and ‘V’ are in blue. The pen strokes forming the numerals for books ‘II’ to ‘III’ are alternately red and blue.

Initials throughout are alternately blue and red, and have extended pen flourishes in blue and red. Paraphs are blue and red alternately. Rubrics and underlining are in red. On folio 34v is a manicule.

Each folio has been lined and ruled recto and verso.

Pricking is visible for the horizontal and vertical lines.

Quire signatures in red ink are occasionally visible in the form of letters and strokes on the recto sides.

There are scribal notes and catchwords in the lower margin, most of which have been lost due to cropping.

There is evidence of contemporary and modern repairs to the vellum.
