Catalogue description: Grand in octavo, vélin; 81 feuillets; écriture très-ancienne, en partie effacée, encre jaunie, incomplet, sans couverture.
Notes: Unbound, poor quality parchment according to Faider p. 104. Faider supposes that the volume, which was very worn and annotated, was used in a monastic school (pp. 104-105). The annotations were in hands from the xiiith and xivth centuries. The MS came from the library of De Villers. It was photographed according to Faider (p. 105). The manuscript images are on bobines 2, 3 and 4 (now on a CD-ROM at the Tournai public library; the first file is "2_26") The entire mss is available on microfilm; I have checked it in person to supplement the material here (KM). Illuminated initials appear on ff.12r, 29v and 41v (the foliation here, which is based on the microfilm slides, is necessarily approximate). There are marginal annotations throughout the MS.
