General Description

The main text is Julian of Toledo's Liber prognosticorum. The first quire has a list of the chapters, and the first piece of music completes the remaining leaves of this quire (Zima vetus expurgetur, ff.6r-8v) before the text itself begins in the next quire at 9r. The second piece of music (Ave Maria gratia plena, ff.70v-71v) occurs in the final quire, after the end of the main text, along with other verses and brief notes. Copied in England.
