Each sheet of the facsimile represents two pages of the original (a verso and the opposite recto) beginning with the verso of the first leaf and the recto of the second leaf.

Collation of original (as represented by facsimile) : verso of p. l., numb. l. 1-268 (recto) 27 x 17 cm. In double columns. At the end of the text is a drawing of the arms of Flanders and the lion is repeated on the margin of fol. 107. Initials.

The original is a late 13th century vellum manuscript. The text, which agrees, on the whole, with that of the Mons manuscript, is good throughout and ends apparently with the concluding line of Wauchier's poem. cf. The legend of Perceval, by Jessie L. Weston and Catalogue of additions to the manuscripts in the British museum in the years 1900-1905.
