The work is divided into five parts: "de pertinentibus ad inchoationem ordinis," "multa de beato Dominico, quæ in legenda ipsius non habentur," "de Mag. Jordane" [second General, 1222-1237], "de progressu fratrum," "de egressu fratrum de hoe mundo." It is preceded (f. 69) by an introductory epistle of Humbert de Romans, and concludes (f. 195 b) with a brief chronicle of the order from 1203 to 1254. At the beginning of the volume, in the same hand as the above, are the following articles:-

1. Lessons from the Gospels and other matter relating to St. John Baptist, including sermons of St. John Chrysostom, St. Augustine, St. Maximus and St. Bernard. ff. 1-37 b.
