Notes
couplet added (xiv, xv) on fol. 75v in Latin; end points for Latin tracts are based on James' entries and therefore approximate; "The name of the place where the Halimotae were held appears to be Tittenhanger (Herts.). This name and that of Wymundham occur in the text. Both places belonged to St Albans. It seems a fair inference that the MS is from St Albans library."
