Contains, edited from the mss., an anonymous Sermo de presentatione Marie in templo, Epistola de solempnitate Presentationis by Philippe de Mézières, a report of a miracle by Spanish priests Berengarius and Iohannes, a rhythmical liturgical office for the feast (Fons ortorum), a Mass proper with the prose Altissima prouidente, and a playscript, probably by Philippe, of a liturgical drama for the feast of Presentation. The collection was probably put together by Philippe himself.
