Summary
Incomplete manuscript copy of Peter Lombard's Sentences from the Paris schools and the emerging university. It was consciously prepared for commentary, with wide, ruled margins. Occasionally there is a corrector note at the end of a gathering "correctum est" (i.e. after quires 3, 5, 6, and 7). First leaf, fol. 37, and last two leaves are missing. The upper outer corner of fol. 65 (the opening of Book III) has been cut away; some darkening (soot?) of some fore-edges at the beginning and end.
