Notes:

This leaf begins what is known as the "Ibimus" paraphrase of Robert of Sorbon's De tribus dietis paradisi (On the three ways to Paradise). This manuscript contains a miscellany, or collection, of theological writings, including Book III of Gregory the Great's Moralia in Job, the Pseudo-Bernard of Clairvaux's Meditationes, an anonymous treatise entitled Summa de trinitate, Hugh of St. Cher's Speculum ecclesiae (Mirror of the Church), and Innocent III's De miseria conditionis humanae (On the misery of the human condition). Texts of related content were often produced and bound together in the same volume, constituting something of a "mini-library" on a particular subject. Heraldic evidence on fol. 32v suggests that the collection was intended for use in Malmesbury Abbey in England.
