originally bound together with Paris, BnF lat. MS 4633 and Egerton
MS 269. It has been divided in three different parts later,
probably in the 16th century when in the possession of Pierre and
François Pithou (see Provenance). Lacking folios have been
supplemented in the 17th century (ff. 6-7; 10-11).Contents: ff.
