A 14th and 15th century vellum manuscript meas. 275 x 210 mm. and containing ii + 202 folios numbered in modern pencil at t.r.r. An old brown ink foliation dates from the 15th century and runs from f. 112-197. Evidently this was the beginning of a second manuscript since the old numbering runs from 1-85. The original binding of skin is preserved, though underneath it is a new light brown leather covering for the wooden boards. The contents are: sermons (f. 1-18), De veritate theologica by St. Thomas (f. 19-112) and edificatory works by John Waldeby (f. 112-198). On f. 198v is a reference to a 15th century owner: Henry Groom, a cleric, while on f. ii verso the 17th century owner wrote: "Joh. Causton, Rector de Clopton Coteley in Comite Suffolk.
