The manuscript is incomplete and mutilated. A note in the manuscript by former owners says "The manuscript was obtained at the abbey [Library of the Monastery of Saint Vedast at Arras] around the year 1625. From then on it was spoiled with the chisel and insulted by children, according to the appearances" and “In 1720, this manuscript was torn from time immemorial by people who insulted antiquity".
