Preface, 1r; I, 1r-12r; II, 12r-29v; III, 29v-38v; IV, 38v-52v; V, 52v-64r; VI, 64r-76r; VII, 76r-86v; VIII, 86v-95v; IX, 95v-109v; X, 109v-117v; XI, 117v-129r; XII, 129r-137v; XIII, 138r-147r. Corrections by the scribe and glosses, sometimes substantial, by three other hands, one from the first half of the 13^th c. (as noted by Georges, this hand also glossed the Almagesti minor and other texts in MS Paris, BnF, lat. 7399) and the others from the 14^th and 15^th c. A fourth hand (English acc. Georges) is responsible for a gloss mentioning the year 1291 on f. 38v: ‘… a principio mundi usque annum Christi 1291’.
