ff. 91-95 blank.
It is the anonymous Gesta Francorum: ed. Bongars, Gesta Dei, p. 1.

Britannia igitur beatissima est insularum fecunda frugibus et arboribus
copiosa (Hen. Hunt. 1, 1-12, Rolls edn.).
Ending io4b, taliterque suos exortatus est (p. 17, Rolls edn.). This is
immediately followed by a rubric:
De Anglia et de longitudine et latitudine eius, Item de seyrtis {leg. scyris) et
de episcopatibus eius. 104'’
Anglia habet in longitudine DCCC miliaria a penuil flete qui locus est xv
miliaria ultra montem S. Michaelis in Cornubio usque ad Cathenesce ultra
scociam. In latitudine uero CCC miliaria de seb dauid usque ad doure. In
Anglia sunt xxxn scire...et xmi episcopatus etc.
p. 105 : in his XXXII sciris ill leges constituuntur.
Ends io5b: ad mercenelage pertinent VII scyre Glouclestrescyre...Stafford-
scire. d. hide.
6. Then follow without break or rubric the capitula of the Topo-
graphia Hiberniae of Giraldus Cambrensis. 1058
In has partes libellus iste distinguitur.
The capitula agree with those in M (Univ. Lib. Mm. 5. 30), the best MS of the
first edition as quoted by Dimock (Gir. Camb., Rolls ed. v).
They end with De nouo et enormi regni et dominii confirmacionis modo
(Dist. iii, xxv).
Rubric Illustri Anglorum regi suits Siluester. io8b
Placuit excellence uestre (edn. V. 20),
ualeat destinare (21).
A paragraph is here omitted, as from other MSS of the first edition.
Rubric: Inc. hibernice historie distinccio ia De situ hibernie uariaque eius
natura. , 109
Hibernia post Britanniam insularum maxima...aliqua se ex parte representat.
This agrees with the MSS of the first edition against the later which expand
this chapter into two. It is, in fact, obvious that we have here another copy of
the first edition which was unknown to the editor of the Rolls text.
Distinctio 11 begins at f. 124. Distinctio III at f. 145.
Ending f. I07b: quicquid a tanta maiestate fuerit iniunctum. Omne tulit
punctum qui miscuit utile dulci (Rolls edn. V, 202)
