"3. 'Liber de natura quorundam animalium et lapidurn et quid significetur per eam.' In thirty-nine chapters, with a table of headings prefixed. Beg. 'De natura leonis, bestiarum seu animalium regis'. An early form of the Latin version of the Physiologus, resembling the A-B text printed by Cahier (Mélanges, ii-iv), with the addition of the corresponding passages from Isidore's Etymologiae. The last three articles seem to contain later accretions (cf Stowe MS. 1067, which is free of them), but as a whole it has a simpler and earlier form of text than 12 C. XIX, 12 F. xiii, &c. f. 133."

Parts of the text in this manuscript are also found in Newberry Library, MS 31.1 and Houghton Library, MS Typ 101.
