Main text is a copy of the Latin version of Gregory's Dialogues, which Ker 1957 judges 'can hardly have been written before about 1200' (p. 575). Additions at the end of the final quire include The Creed ('said by Ker to be The Lord's Prayer') in Old English (Laing 1993, p. 151). Ker 1957 describes the additions as 'in an older type of writing and all by one hand', suggests that they may have been produced in South-East England, records a s. xiii Latin marginal inscription which names St Paul, and notes the dedication to St Paul of the Augustinian priory at Chichester, Essex.
