The principal text in the manuscript is a Latin world history in verse and prose, written in s.xii2. At the same date, names of letters are written in English on fol. 3v, and glosses in English and French are added to a Latin list of names of animals, etc., on fols 156, 158, 159v and 160. Ker suggests that the manuscript might come from Peterborough (1957, p. 337).
