- Description
- Vulgate Bible with prologues produced in France during the second half of the thirteenth century. The opening is imperfect, with the surviving text beginning at Genesis 2:8 and ending at Apocalypse (Revelation) 20:10. Ends with a fragmented copy of the Interpretation of Hebrew Names. Many leaves are missing throughout the volume. While some gaps are found at points where a historiated initial would have originally been included, others occur within the text where no decoration would be expected to be found. Removal / loss of leaves predated its most recent binding.

- Provenance
- An unidentified heraldic crest has been added to fol. 113v, with quarters 1 and 4 azure, three crowns in bend, bendwise (perhaps a reference to the arms of the legendary Brutus of Troy) and quarters 2 and 3 or a cross gules with four fleur-de-lis gules (perhaps a reference to the Irish branch of the Haydon, or Heydon, family). This crest was added in the fifteenth century, presumably by its owner at that time. Donated to University Archives and Special Collections in 1974 by Zelia C. Friel in memory of John Whiting Friel. Bookplate for John Whiting Friel (1891-1970) and Helen Otillie Friel (1891-1959) attached to the inside cover.
