Summary
Notes from:
Fol. 1. Nigel Wireker's 'Burnelli speculum stultorum', with variants from MSS. described as A, B, and C, and so perhaps from the Cologne edition of 1499: for MSS. of this poem see J. H. Mozley in Speculum, vol. iv (1929), p. 430, and vol. v (1930), p. 251
Fol. 73v. the satirical poem entitled Serlo: beg. 'Quae monachi quaerunt', and an anonymous poem on Rome the Simoniac, followed at fol. 76 by excerpts from MS. Bodl. l58
Fol. 82v. 'Quaedam prosa de fratribus' from 'MS. Th. 2. 12' at Bodley in verses of 4 lines: beg. 'Rector circuli rotundi respice de coelo'. This is a 1605 press-mark but the MS. has not been identified.
