Four fragments of parchment, separated from a binding, contain
parts of the account of the so-called Navigatio sancti Brandani,
the sea voyage of St. Brendan, an Irish monk of the fifth and sixth
centuries. The work in Latin prose, handed down anonymously, is
considered a classic of medieval hagiography and travel literature;
since the 10th century, it has been preserved in numerous
manuscripts. This version is an Anglo-Norman translation by the
monk Benedeit (about 1120).
