Hic codex charactere valde difformi exaratur, et interlineationibus ubique scatet ita ut videatur fuisse autographum autoris in itineribus suis compilatum: occidentals et orientales partes hums regni saepe visitavit, ecclesias et monasteria descripsit seu potius mensuravit, nihil enim notavit praeter longitudines et latitudines quas per gressus suos computavit, et ex obituariis et chronicis quaedam excerpsit : diligentiam facile laudares, judicium ubique desiderares; primus tamen fuit, qui Angliam perlustrare aggressus est, et si maximas laudes assecutus sit Lelandus vestigiis ejus feliciore gradu insistens, nonnullae ipsi Bottonero debentur, qui viam ei monstravit
