- Abstract:
- Manuscript on paper (various watermarks), composed in four parts, of 1) Pomponius Mela, De chorographia libri tres, ending abruptly in III.107. 2) Vibius Sequester, De fluminibus, fontibus, lacubus, nemoribus, paludibus, montibus, gentibus. 3) Unidentified text(s) on the names of the Roman provinces and their regions (ff. 47v-48v) and the names of the cities in the provinces (ff. 48v-50r). 4) Dares Phrygius, De excidio troiae historia, ending abruptly and missing f. 54. Arts. 5-9, a series of exordia, appear to be school exercises in Latin prose composition, all poorly written and heavily corrected. They follow approximately the text of Justinus' Epitoma, but are much abbreviated; the Latin is often incomprehensible without a prior knowledge of the historical narrative. 10) Short unidentified passages on Epirus.

Blue/green and natural color chevron endbands are sewn on tawed skin cores. There is a strip of tawed skin extending a short distance on the outside of the boards and turned in at head and tail. The boards are edged with white, tawed skin and an outer cover is whip stitched to this edging. There is no adhesive on the spine and the cover is held in place by the endbands. The outer cover probably extended and has been cut off flush. Needle holes along the inner edge of the back board fore-edge turn-in. There are traces of two strap-and-pin fastenings, the pins on the lower board. Hole bored on the tail and fore edge of the front board does not seem to serve any purpose., Script: Written by a single scribe in early gothic bookhand, above top line., and Some marginalia lost due to trimming and rubbing.
