Incomplete copy of the Aurora, a verse commentary on the Bible by
Petrus Riga († 1209). This codex contains only the books of the
Old Testament and breaks off in the Book of Machabees. In detail,
the content includes: Praefatio Petri Rigae (pp. 3–4), Genesis
(pp. 4–60), Exodus (pp. 60–106), Leviticus with prologue (pp.
107–137), Numbers with prologue (pp. 137–160), Deuteronomy (pp.
160–169), Joshua (pp. 169–180), Judges (pp. 180–191), Ruth

307–445 and 235–272 (pp. 301–313). In several places, the

part they are listed in the edition by Paul E. Beichner (Aurora.
