An incomplete Festial by John Mirk, with no title, containing forty-four sermons and prologue, written in the 15th cent.
The signatures show breaks after fols. 174, 190, 204, 282, but the book does not seem to be imperfect.
On fol. 204v is 'Mary mircy, quod J. M.' at end of a contemporary addition. Fol. 1 is injured. [Author's name Mirkus?].
