A miscellany of texts, dating to the late 15th century but likely bound together at a later date, containing the Elegantiolae of Agostino Dati, an anonymous work called the Tractatus philosophicus (inc. "Licet homo inter alia animalia ...), the Dittochaeon (or Tituli historiarum) of Prudentius, the hymn "Crux fidelis," and the Formula vitae honestae of Martin of Braga.
