Three texts from the Alexander cycle, viz (1) the History of Alexander the Great in the abridged version of Julius Valerius ('Incipiunt Gesta Alexandri Magni'), (b) Correspondence between Alexander the Great and Dindimus, king of the Brahmans ('Disputacio inter Alexandrum Inperatorem et Dindimum regem bragmanorum'), and (c) 'Commonitorium palladii. Vita bragmanorum'; and an imperfect text of the Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth ('Incipit hystoria britannorum'). The volume was probably compiled in France. It is neatly written, with headings in red and initial letters in blue, green, red, and buff. It has been well preserved, and has been bound by Simier, a French binder.
