A much-used school manuscript containing the 15 books of the
Metamorphoses by Publius Ovidius Naso with many interlinear and
marginal glosses in Latin. The parchment shows signs of heavy use
as well as dirt, and it is sewn in various places. Before the first
pagination of the manuscript by the assistant librarian Ildefons
von Arx around 1780, the text from Book 8, V. 564, to Book 10, V.
429, was missing, as noted on p. 62. At the end of the manuscript,
there are pen trials, some of them of historical content, such as
the mention of an earthquake on September 4, 1298 on p. 112 or the
mention of a scribe by the name of Johannes (Qui me scribebat
Iohannes nomen habebat).
