This composite manuscript contains texts of varying subjects and dates. The first part contains manuscripts produced by various hands. It begins with a treatise on the Immaculate Conception of Mary (1451). Then comes an exhortation for the clergy to dispatch their duties conscientiously, with instructions on administering the sacraments, particularly rules concerning marriage. It also contains astronomical tables and texts, such as verses on the Zodiac. Indications of the manuscript's Solothurn provenance are the accounts of the passion of Saints Maurice, Ursus, and Victor, metrical poems on the Theban Legion, and drafts for the proper of the feast of St. Ursus. It is probably that the texts were written in the circle of the provosts of the Solothurn Collegiate Church Felix Hemmerli and Jakob Hüglin. The second part of this volume is a 1490 incunable printing of the Fasciculus Temporum by Werner Rolevinck.
