The text is divided into 33 smaller sections, each with a title.
Directly after, on fol. 60v below, follows a distich, obviously the work’s
dedication poem, probably for King Charles the Bald: “PERLEGE REX SAPIENS .
SOPHIAE PIA DOGMATA SANCTAE / SICQUE FIDEM FIRMA PECTORE ET ORE TUO”
(missing in SCHALLER/KÖNSGEN 1977, p. 531). On the upper edge of fol. 2r the
13th-century exlibris “¶ iste liber est Monasterij sancti Andree dyocesis
Avinionensis”. Below a younger shelfmark (?) “- aab -” and to the left and
right hand of it the 17th-century exlibris of the Maurists “monasterii
sancti andreae congregationis s. mauri” (after 1635). A detailed description
of the manuscript in general and of the anonymous work in particular by Dom
Odon de La Mothe from 1640 is preserved in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de
France, Ms. lat. 13070, fol. 109r. In the 18th century the manuscript
belonged to Bénigne-Charles Févret de Saint-Mémin, member of the Parliament
of Dijon, whose exlibris is pasted on the inner plate of the front cover: DE
