Hugo Primas, Hildebert of Lavardin, Serlo of Wilton, Simon Chèvre d’Or, Bernard Silvester, Ovid, Ranulf de Glanvill (attrib.) — Late 12th or early 13th century. Rigg (p. 476) hypothesizes: The sequence of compilation could have been something like this: (1) Part IV, by A, with red, green and blue decoration; (2) addition of Part I by A; (3) addition of Parts II–III by B: (4) addition of Part V by C; (5) addition of Part VI; (6) quire numbering.; Rigg (p. 480), pointing to similarities between this manuscript and London, British Library, Cotton MS. Titus A. xx, argues that the manuscript was almost certainly written in England. The ‘Frenchness’ of MS. Rawl. G. 109 is explained by the fact that it is a fairly faithful copy of a lost anthology compiled some forty or fifty years earlier, probably in France. MS. Rawl. G. 109

Two main sections (fols. 1-6, on parchment, c. 1400; fols. 7-194, paper, c. 1445-1489, perhaps mostly in the hand of Walter Pollard). The contents are most fully described by D. Thomson, A Descriptive Catalogue of the Middle English Grammatical Texts (1979), 290-315 (with some corrections in IMEP XXIII: see bibliography), which the following summary abbreviates considerably, and to which the reader is referred for fuller information. In addition to the longer items listed below Thomson describes a large number of shorter notes and additions, including proverbs, historical notes, hymns and verses, grammatical and theological notes, and documents and letters, all in both Latin and English.
