          Parchment (thick, furry), ff. iii (paper) + 158 + iii (paper), 239
     x 170 (178 x 130) mm. Written in 2 columns of 32 lines; single vertical
     and horizontal bounding lines full across. Ruled in crayon; some
     prickings in upper and lower margins.
          I-XIX^^8, XX^^6 (structure uncertain due to extensive repairs).
     Remains of signatures, in red, often at top and bottom of folio, on
     recto; catchwords under inner column, on verso.
          Written in gothic textura by a single scribe, who listed the
     authors quoted in the margins and added occasional running headings.
     Marginal and interlinear notations by several later hands.
          Initials, probably added in the Netherlands (s. XV^^2), 6- to 3-
     line, edged in black, filled with blue or red, with white filigree
     spirals, against square or cusped red or blue grounds, with white
     highlights, edged in black, often with black hairspray at corners.
     Paragraph marks and intermittent underlining, in red, throughout.
          Binding: s. xviii. Edges spattered with red. Brown spattered calf,
     gold-tooled, with a red label.

          Written in Northern France or possibly the Netherlands in the
     middle of the 14th century; Bouberch may possibly be the name of the
     scribe (see art. 1). Initials appear to have been painted later in the
     Netherlands (s. XV^^2); early provenance otherwise unknown. Number 106
     in an unidentified French catalogue (note pasted on f. iii recto);
     unidentified bookplate with motto "Forte fide pugnat uigilat".
     Purchased from Goldschmidt's in 1940 by Henry Fletcher; gift of Mrs.
     Henry Fletcher in 1953.
