    • Content Description

      The verso contains text on the left section that coincides with p. 11, l. 22 (“quando arguitur quod est factum” – p. 14, l. 115 (“sed esse veras substantias”), the right side contains p. 52, l. 91 (“quod causa divisionis est materia”) – p. 57, l. 40 (“notandum hic primo quod”) ed. Brown.

      The text displays numerous variants that confirm its close connection with MS C (= Göttingen, Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Theol. 124), although it is not its model or a copy.
