The De avibus of Hugh of Fouilloy on folios 1r-26r; some text is missing. Three introductory diagrams featuring the hawk and the dove; 20 full color bird illustrations with frames and blue or red colored backgrounds. The birds are mostly shown standing, not displaying any of their usual characteristics. Some birds are drawn realistically, others are generic birds. There are some missing images (cock, jay, phoenix).

Clark aviary group: Paris.

The bestiary is on folios 26r-43r; some text is missing. 18 full color illustrations, framed with colored backgrounds. The illustrations generally show the usual characteristics of the animal. There are some images missing (lion, panther, lizard, caladrius).

The combination of the De avibus and a version of the Physiologus and/or a bestiary is called the De bestiis et aliis rebus, usually (and incorrectly) attributed to Hugh of Saint Victor.

The same artist appears to have done both the aviary and the bestiary.
