1. Fol. xvii. A list of Popes in Latin to Pius v who succeeded in 1566.

2. Fols. 1, 22v. Two letters of Clemens Romanus to the church at Jerusalem: begg. 'Clemens ... Notum tibi facio, Domine', 'Clemens ... Quoniam sicut a beato Petro': at end 'Legitur juxta exemplar'. These are the first two of the spurious Epistolae Decretales of Clement, only known in Latin.

3. Fol. 30. 'A defence & declaration of the Catholike Churches doctrine touching purgatory & prayer for the deade ... by William Alyn [the name is half obliterated] master of arte ande studente in diuinytye': the introduction is dated May 2,1565. The work is in two books, each with a preface.

Fols. ii-xvi, 231-49 are fragments which have been taken out of the original red leather binding of the volume, and consist of:

Fols. ii-xiii. parts of leaves from a 13th-cent. Latin missal, in which st. Alphege occurs (apparently of English provenance, but not of any known English use)
Fols. xiv-xv, 231-2, parts of leaves from a Statuta Angliae of about A.D. 1300, containing pieces of the Statuta de Merleberge, 1267
Fols. 233-48, parts of leaves from a fine 14th-cent. Latin missal.
