Fragments which may come from a single volume, a poetic anthology. See A. G. Rigg, ‘Medieval Latin Poetic Anthologies (I)’, Mediaeval Studies 39 (1977), pp. 281-330, at p. 283. The authorship of many items is uncertain: attributions are discussed in the notes to individual items. The leaves were cut at the top, bottom or at the outer margin and show signs of having once been used as pastedowns. As a result, significant portions of the texts are now missing. The old foliation, running from 1 to 16, was rearranged in accordance with J. H. Mozley, 'Some Notes on Lat. misc. d. 15', Bodleian Quarterly Record 7 (1932), pp. 133-138 and now runs in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11v-11r, 16, 7, 8, 5, 6, 12, 13v-13r, 14, 15. The following description refers to the old foliation. — 13th century, first half; England or France MS. Lat. misc. d. 15
