Note:

Manuscript note: To judge from the script and plain ornament, the present manuscript was very probably made in a Cistercian house, doubtless in England. The combination of Pseudo-Cyprian’s De duodecim abusionibus saeculiwith works of Hugh of Fouilloi occurred in a manuscript recorded in the early thirteenth century at the Cistercian abbey of Flaxley, Gloucestershire (Bell 1992, p. 23, no. 49).
Bibliography: Faye and Bond 1962, p. 184.
One leaf: Latin.
One leaf r: folio begins "De duodecim abusionibus saeculi consona voce psalmista…" Migne, PL 4: 880-82. Explicit (compare to de Clerrq 1959, pp. 221-2), followed by table of chapters.
Incipit, One leaf r: Non itaque simus sine Christo in hoc tempore transitorio, ne sine nobis Christus esse incipiat in futuro.
One leaf r-v: Recto starts with the last words of the Pseudo-Cyprian De duodecim abusionibus saeculi "consona voce psalmista” to “in futuro” (Migne, PL 4: 880–82), with the opening of Hugh of Fouilloi “Incipit prefatio magistri hugonis in libro de rota vere religionis, Sicut comperi non est tibi” (de Clercq 1959, pp. 221–22), followed by the table of chapters.
Explicit, One leaf r-v: Sicut comperi non est tibi.
