Description

This is a multipart manuscript. Two texts are of interest here. Neither is illustrated.

Gerald of Wales, Topographia Hibernica is on folio 49r–96v. This is version 3 of the text. This is an older part of the manuscript, probably produced in the late thirteenth century.

Alexander the Great and the wonders in the East is on folio 97r–106v (Epistola Alexandri ad Aristotelem), a fictional letter from Alexander to Aristotle on the wonders of India.
