Contents
Language(s): Latin
Followed by the treatise, with coloured drawings.
The nearly contemporary list of contents on fol. ii v shows that two treatises have at this point dropped out, but their titles are erased. There are signs that the volume has been exposed to injury, e. g. at fol. 61v.
'De epistola Epiphanii', 'aduersus Rufinum', part of st. Jerome's Apologia adversus libros Rufini, beginning with 'Te autem frater liberet Deus ... et maxime Rufinum ...' (Apol. iii. 23-43).
In two books
On fol. 82 follow some 14th cent. forms of Benedictio salis ad pecora sananda, seminis, salis et aquae ad omnia animalia.
