Martyrology (imperfect) and Kalendar, extracted from Usuard (d.
877), beginning 'celebraret in media civitate iussit in eadem '.ff.
30r-32r: Pseudo-Bede, Extracts from a computistical text. ff.
32r-50r: Anonymous, Regulæ et Instructiones Sacerdotum (Rules and
Instructions of Bishops). ff. 50v-63v: Gennadius of Marseille (fl.

ff. 88r-128v: Anonymous, Liber de Gestis Sanctorum Patrum Miracula
(A Book on the Miracles and Deeds of the Holy Fathers) in 25
chapters. A chapter list is given on ff. 88v-89r. The manuscript
contains a number of additions:ff. 1r-1v: A parchment fly-leaf from
a tenth-century collection of extracts from papal letters and
decretals. A paper pastedown on f.1v lists the contents and old
pagination. ff. 129r-129v: A parchment fly-leaf from a
tenth-century collection of extracts from papal letters and
decretals. This most likely belonged to the same manuscript as the
fly-leaf at the beginning of the manuscript. ff. 87v-88r: A 'Sunday
Letter', supposedly written by Christ to encourage the Sabbath to
be kept on Sundays. Interpolated in an eleventh century hand,
beginning on f. 87v and continuing into the margins of f. 88r. The
margins have subsequently been trimmed, removing part of the text.
ff. 5r, 8v, 37r, 40r, 41r and 42v: annotations in a hand datable to
c. 1000 (see Kerff, ‘Frühmittelalterliche pharmazeutische

blank].Decoration:1 large initial, decorated with insular knot-work
and red infill (f. 89r). Medium and small capitals, highlighted in
red, and rubric capitals, found throughout the manuscript. Initials
on ff. 101v, 105r, 113r have been decorated with human faces. On f.
31r a computus table is decorated with column bases. A pen trial,
perhaps for a decorated initial, on f. 128v.
