Folio 150r-159v: The De avibus (Aviary) or first of the four books of the Bestiary. It is generally attributed to Hugh of Fouilloy (Fouilloy in the department of Somme), Prior of S. Laurence at Heilly (1153-1174). Illustrated by pen drawings.

Part 2 order: 38, 39, 43-47, omits 48-49, 51-54, omits 55-58, 59, 40-42. - [Clark, page 289]

Folio 215r-216v: Further selections from the moralized Bestiary, chiefly of animals, not illustrated. Begins Est animal quod Grece dicitur elephas. They are mainly based on the Physiologus, but seem to be taken from one of the common compilations.

[adapted in part from the British Library description]

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.
