  1. Fol. 5. Summa Raimundi de Penna Forti de poenitentia et matrimonio, here without title or author's name, except 'R': the fourth book (at fol. 46v) is here attributed to Tancredus. One leaf is wanting at the end, the text ending at 'omnia bona mariti' in the last chapter.
  2. Fol. 54. 'Excepciones Canonum, Decretalium & Legum per se diuisim secundum Sumam fratris Reymundi in titulis suis', imperfect at end.
  3. Fol. 131v. 'Incipiunt Brocarda [this word erased] Damasi Vngari', correcta per Bartolomeum Brixiensem.
  4. Fol. 140. Varia juridica, for which see corrigenda.
  5. On fols. 207v-9r is added in a 16th cent. hand 'Here suen foure full notable Prologis upon the Sauter [Psalter]', but only one (that of the Wycliffite translation) follows, beginning 'Whane it is known all the prophetes to haue spoken'.
