1. 'In nomine domini nostri Iesu Christi. Incipiunt sentencie [extra]cte decatholicis libris in unum collecte': the collection called Scintillae, compiled probably by Defensor, a monk of Ligugé in Poitou (cf. 6 D. v, art. 2). Printed in Migne, Patr. Lat. lxxxviii. 599. The preface is absent, and two other chapters of the printed text, but the chapter De doctoribus, omitted in the edition, is present, and other slight variations occur.

2. 'Hunc libellum sequentem Smaragdus abbas de diuersis uirtutibus collegit, et ei nomen diadema imposuit, quia, sicut diadema gemmis, ita et hic libellus diuersis fulget uirtutibus': the compilation of Smaragdus, Abbot of S. Mihiel (cf. 7 D VI, &c., Migne, cii. 593). Preface beg. 'Hunc modicum operis nostri libellum'; text, 'Hoc est remedium eius qui uitiorum'. f. 82. On f. 1 b is a rude 15th cent. drawing of a crucifix, &c., with inscription 'Memoria affectuali oretis pro anima mag. Ricardi Marschall, qui dedit librum istum dompno Thome Wellis monacho ordinis Carthusiensis de domo dei de Henton' [Hinton, co. Som.].
Vellum; ff. 166. 71/4 in. x 51/4 in. Late XII cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves (xi3, xviii6, xxii4). Sec. fol. 'habet qui'. Initials in colours. Belonged to John Theyer. Theyer sale-cat. no. 230; CMA. 6577.
