Contains
  • Bible (Genesis - IV Kings). 1r-236v
    Note
    (ir) in the original hand contains the text of Gen. xxxiii-xxxv beginning in xxxiii 1, oculos suos uidit uenientem. It should precede immediately f. 21r
    f. iir is a much effaced document with notarial mark: apparently relating to a church in Ireland. The names Akadiens', Dublinens', Casselens' occur
    Quires 1, 2 (ff. 1r-20v) are a supply of cent. xv, very neatly written
