- "Perhaps written by William, or alternatively he was the author of the paraphrase of the Psalms: colophon: 'Willelme ki me escrit / Seit de deu beneit / Kil nul a rachete. Est li doint la grace. Kil maigne vant la face kant sera trepasse' (f. 215r)"; "? Cardinal Ottobuono Fieschi (d. 1276), Papal Legate to England (1265-1268), elected Pope as Adrian V in 1276: according to Turner the entries in the calendar for the Apparition of St Michael and St Agatha, venerated in southern Italy, both written in gold might suggest a patron with Italian interests; the now detached leaf (Add. MS 54215) includes an image of an ecclesiastic wearing a mitre and a cope (without a pallium or crosier) and identified by Turner as possible portrait of Cardinal Fieschi (see Turner Rediscovered Miniatures (1969))."
