At the time of the publication of this book it had recently been acquired by the British Museum and now is in the British Library. The book bears the dedication, "To a friend of England, John Pierpont Morgan". The American millionaire lent the Museum the purchase price, interest free. Following the dedication is a Preface (by H. I. Bell), Contents, Introductory, History of the Manuscript, Description of the Manuscript, 3 appendices, Index of the principal subjects illustrated, and, finally, the plates.
