With a short preface stating that Roger sent this revised poem, being uncertain whether the first form, sent some time before with Brother Symund, had reached Ford
Roger states in his preface (fols 1-2) that the manuscript is a copy of one he sent to his former master B(aldwin) abbot of Ford. Roger copied it c. 1170 from an imperfect manuscript brought by Willelmus (de Tolosa), formerly abbot of Savigny, to the monastery where Roger was.
