Fragmentary; only part of the narrative is present (missing the first 950 lines, so includes Medicus - Vaticinium). Contained in the first part of the MS (ff. 1-165) which contains a collection of legendary and devotional works in Middle English, including the Legend of Ipotis, The Prick of Conscience, Speculum Gy de Warwyke, and Mandeville's Travels; followed by Chaucer's Tale of Melibee.
