Work in progress. This table of contents is based on Warren, with help from Jeffery’s analysis. F. E. Warren distinguished between three major divisions: 1. canticles and hymns (ff. 1-17), 2. groups of collects (ff. 18-29), and 3. miscellaneous pieces such ss antiphons, prayers and hymns (ff. 30-36). The overview below, however, follows Jeffery’s more detailed description and classification of the organisation of the contents, which distinguishes between four divisions. Warren’s numbering of items is followed here between square brackets. Title rubrics between square brackets supplied by Warren from sources elsewhere.
