Notes:
Ms. codex.; Title from Zacour-Hirsch Catalogue.; Collation: Parchment, i (modern paper) + 258 + i (modern paper); 1², 2-32⁸; [1-258]; modern foliation in pencil, upper right recto. Earlier foliation (not contemporary with text) in ink begins with 1 at the start of the text (f. 16r), misnumbered and crossed out; ink foliation ends with 242-245 preceding 238-241, which suggests that in an earlier binding the final gathering was arranged differently; in the present binding, the text is continuous through f. 254 (marked 245 in the ink foliation) and f. 255-258 mostly repeats the text of f. 251-254. Numbers and catchwords at the ends of the quires. Link to collation model at end of record.; Layout: Written in 26 long lines; ruled in lead; prickings visible.; Script: Written in transitional script (or protogothic script) by a single hand.; Decoration: Rubricated in red, blue, and green, with decorated initials; large illuminated initial with an amusing grotesque figure, in red, blue, and green (f. 204v); illustrated with a biblical canon in columns decorated with borders and ornaments in red and blue (f. 56v-57r); incomplete diagram of affinity (f. 226r).; Binding: Modern quarter vellum over wooden boards; vellum split at front hinge, upper cover and spine nearly detached.; Origin: Written in France, 12th century (Zacour-Hirsch).; Incipit, text: Incipiunt decreta sanctorum pontificum. De fide sanctae trinitatis. Credimus unum deum esse patrem & filium & sanctumque spiritum (f. 16r).; Incipit prologus super exceptiones decretorum sanctorum pontificum. Exceptiones ecclesiasticarum regularum partim ex epistolis romanorum pontificum...
