Old French prose manuscript, missing the beginning. It was probably
written on sheep parchment, which was processed roughly. The
initials are rubricated in red. Space was left for decorated
letters, which were not executed. The text at the end is damaged.
The 135 leaves are separated into 19 quires. The first and last
leaves are missing. The manuscript probably is from the library of
the Counts of Neuchâtel since it is mentioned in an inventory from
the library of Jean de Fribourg and Rudolf von Hochberg, which was
prepared at the end of the 15th century. In 1813 the governing
council gave the manuscript, along with 16 other pieces, to the
library of Neuchâtel.
