Summary: This manuscript is an English manuscript dating from c. 1425-50 containing tables on, and excerpts from, the works of Gregory the Great. The manuscript also contains a copy of the Liber Gregorianus of Garnerius of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1170), and other works pertaining to Gregory's writings. CCCC MS 1 is finely decorated with a large number of initials and borders in a typical English style. James noted a similarity in appearance between this manuscript and CCCC MS 73.
