The text skips books 2-5. Also lacking is the commentary on Book 6 verses 1-157 (which is lacking in all manuscripts); the scribe has left almost an entire quire unwritten at this point (fol. 58 lines 26-39 - fol. 63v), presumably so that the missing text of Book 6 could be added at a later date when (if) it was located in a complete exemplar.
