A bestiary based in part on Avirium attributed to Hugo de Fouilloy. Numerous illustrations, lightly colored in green, red, brown, etc. The text begins: 'Cum voluntas conditoris cuiuscumque rei condite natura sit.' A leaf is missing after f.28, and f.30/31 should come before f.29.

Folio 1r-3r are on the monstrous human races, with two near full page illustrations.

It is thought to be of English origin (but not listed in James), though the Bodleian Summary Catalog suggests it may have been written in the Netherlands, and McCulloch (p.39) notes that it "might have been written in the Netherlands and is ascribed to Hugo of Folieto."

The text is nearly identical to that in part E of Bodleian Library MS. Douce 88. The illustrations are simple pen drawings.

Bodleian Summary Catalog number 3522.
