Codex is a compilation of texts. The first part (fol. 1-149) was apparently copied at Basel in 1441; it includes (fol. 1r-31v) an explication of the Decretales, the Sextus, and the Clementines delivered by Nicccolò de Tudeschi to the recollection of one of his students, written by Johannes de Villa de Gomes; (fol. 32r-33v) a copy of Notabilia iuris canonici drawn from Tudeschi's glosses and lectures; (fol. 34r-149r) an early copy of Tudeschi's commentary on the Clementines made in 1441 at the Council of Basel by a student, Antonius Abellonis, a cleric from Mallorca. Tudeschi was attending the Council during this time, so it seems probable that his student or students returned from Basel to Spain sometime within the next decade, and brought this manuscript with them. The second part of the codex was copied on different paper and in different hands in Salamanca between 1454 and 1459. The two parts were subsequently bound together. The second part includes copies of Tractatus contra clericos concubinarios (fol. 150r-162v) with glosses and a summary that is usually attributed to Alphonsus de Madrigal, but since attributed to Martín de Galos and Antonio Rodríguez de Segovia; Antonio de Butrio's commentary on the Decretales (fol. 164r-167v); a short treatise on the redemption of Christian captives written by Juan Alfonso de Benavente at Salamanca in 1454 (fol. 169r-169v); a repetio on a canon in the Decretum (C 33., q. 3, c. 61) by the same author delivered in 1451 and copied in 1459 (fol. 169v-182v); a treatise on sacrilege by fr. Alvarus (fol. 182v-183v); and "Nota dictum abbatis" (fol. 183v-184r). There are numerous signatures and notes in various hands on the back fly-leaf.
