Unlike the other texts that contain the Southern English version of The Seven Sages, this MS has an different story order (Puteus instead of Canis as the second story, Tentamina instead of Medicus as the fourth, Vidua instead of Puteus as the fifth, Canis and Medicus as the 8th and 12th stories). Additionally, Senescalcus and Virgilius are wholly absent. In their place are stories that Brunner titled 'Parricida' (story 7) and 'Armiger' (story 9).
