Summary

Copy of the version in verse (written continuously without line breaks, like prose) of Gautier's encyclopedic treatise discussing cosmology, astronomy, meteorology, geography, natural science, and religion. Many of the headings, which are generally just the incipits of the sections that follow, have been crossed out, with a correction added in the margin. This work is followed by 3 others: the Lucidaire, an anonymous thirteenth-century prose version and vernacular translation of Honorius Augustodunensis's eleventh-century Elucidarius, a dogmatic explanation of Catholic doctrine in the form of a dialogue between a schoolmaster and pupil; the Moralites (des philosophes); and chapter 18 and part of chapter 19 of the first part of Aldobrandino da Siena's Régime du corps, instructions on pregnancy and caring for a newborn. Most of the Lucidaire and the Régime du corps are missing due to three bifolia missing from both the sixth and eighth gatherings. The signatures of the gatherings and one early folio number (77, f. 4r) suggest that this manuscript is a piece of a larger manuscript.
