[From the British Library catalog]

A calendar which precedes the other texts includes the dedication of the church of St. Lawrence, Ludlow (the largest parish church in Shropshire); the manuscript was undoubtedly made for use in the parish. It contains a variety of texts, all in French but not all religious--one concerns how a lord or lady show manage their estates, another gives rules for ensuring love and friendship -- which suggests that the book may have been owned by a wealthy layperson, rather than a cleric. A bestiary in French follows the Psalter, illustrated with ink drawings.
