A collection of eight moralized texts.

Number 7 (folio 27r-44r) is the Aviarium, titled Tractatus de diversis coloribus ac naturis columbarum (treatise on the many colors and the nature of the dove) beginning "Incipit tractus Hugonis prioris de diuersis coloribus ac naturis columbarum; Sequitur capitulum. Phisiologus dicit multis ac diuersis coloribus esse columbas ... a dyabolo deuoratus est periit. Explicit liber de auibus." The text is part of an aviary attributed to Hugh of Fouilloy; medieval authors often attributed it to Hugh of St. Victor. A version of this text is also found in Houghton Library, MS Typ 101 and British Library, Royal MS 2 C. xii. Not illustrated, though spaces left for illustrations.

Number 8 (folio 44r-52v) is a Physiologus variant of the Dicta Chrysostomi type, beginning "Incipiunt dicta Iohannis Crisostomi de naturalibus; In primis de leone. Igitur Iacob benedicens filium suum Iudam dicebat, Catalus leonis Iuda ... Draco est hostis casti animalis dyabolus inimicus filii uigrinis et cetera. Amen." Medieval authors falsely attributed this text to John Chrysostom (5th century Constantinople). A version of this text is also found in Houghton Library, MS Typ 101 and British Library, Royal MS 2 C. xii. Not illustrated, though spaces left for illustrations.

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.
