Collection of texts about horses addressing subjects such as riding, medical treatment, and cavalry. Several seem to be compiled from other, unidentified sources. A few items are concerned not with horses but with the house of Habsburg, such as a text about the Order of the Golden Fleece (f. 23v-24v) and a list in Latin of the emperors of the ancient Roman and Holy Roman empires (f. 334r-345r), concluding with Rudolph II, who died in 1612.
