Summary:

Contains most of Book III (De incarnatione Verbi) of Peter Lombard's Sentences. A table of contents at the beginning lists all the chapters from all forty disputations, but the text breaks off in the middle of Disputation 35, Chapter 3, leaving a blank verso and another empty folio. Erased pencil page numbers, lack of a title page, and the finding tab all suggest that this manuscript may once have included Books I-II.
