A copy of some Latin statutes of King's college, Cambridge
A copy of some Latin statutes of King's college, Cambridge, apparently a draft prior to the longer form actually given in 1443. In this draft, for instance, the first statute after the exordium begins 'De totali numero Sociorum ac Scholarium.... Exordio omnium vt sacra Theologia quæ; scientiarum omnium merito censenda est domina'. There is a gap represented by seven blank leaves (fols. 16-22), after which the first words are 'Sed quod omnes Socii' about recreations.
Fols. i-ii, 53-4 contain rather more than two leaves of a 13th-century Latin medical treatise, of which one chapter begins 'Caro uero est sibi simile in omnibus animalibus sanguinem habentibus'.
