two parts bound together early; French, Latin and English added to the flyleaves: f. i Unidentified document, possibly a court roll, s. xiv, mostly
illegible, on recto (portion of same document used for final flyleaf); texts
added on verso begin with 3 lines, in Latin: Est tuus anna pater, vriel
nasaphat tua mater/ Est vriel iustus, anne pater ille vetustus/ Et nasaphat ego
sum, fructum peperi generosum; followed by 6 lines, in French noting a) the
discovery of Christ's cloak in the monastery of Argenteuil in 1106; b) the
appearance of the sign of the cross in the moon, in October of the same year;
c) the founding of the Cistercian Abbey of Sibton (Suffolk) in 1159; followed
by a prayer to St. Apollonia: Beata Appolonia graue martirium pro domino
sustinuit. tiranni post traxerunt eam.... In lower margin is a sketch of a
coat of arms with St. Andrew's Cross, incomplete.; Final flyleaf, recto, is palimpsest: underwriting apparently from same
document as front flyleaf; written over are business accounts [?], and notes in
English concerning English history. Verso: visible under ultra-violet light
is list of English Kings, in two columns."
