Five leaves from a copy of Nicholas Love, Mirroure of the Blissid Lyf of Jesu Criste, translation of Pseudo-Bonaventure's Meditationes Vitae Christi. An illuminated initial has been excised from f. 5, causing loss of text on f. 5v, affecting the explicit cited above; parts of some letters are still visible, allowing the recovery of some readings. IPMEP 553; Wells Rev. 9:3454–6 [61]. This mutilated fragment contains part of the Friday section (parts of chapters 44–8, equivalent to Sargent p.177 line 27 to p. 187 line 18).

Other texts: See Ll.4.3 [1].

s. xv. Sargent intro p. 140 notes Jeremy Griffiths's opinion that the hand of this MS was also responsible for Mm.5.15 and Huntington HM 1339; Doyle, ‘Reflections’ pp. 87–8 regards the identification of Huntington HM 1339 as by the same hand as more arguable.
