An incomplete manuscript copy, in an unknown hand of the mid-seventeenth century, of Robert, Prior of Shrewsbury, The Admirable Life of Saint Wenefride..., translated from the Latin by I[ohn] F[alconer] ([Saint-Omer], 1635, STC 21102) (pp. 5-104).
The Life consists of two Books, the first comprising 22 Chapters, the second 16 Chapters; the surviving transcript consists of Book I from near the beginning of Chapter 7 to the beginning of Chapter 21 (pp. 5-68), Book II from the end of Chapter 3 to the beginning of Chapter 11 (pp. 69-100), and part of Book II, Chapter 16 (pp. 101-104).

[41]), and eight between p. 68 (p. 104) and p. 69 (p. 121); an unknown number are missing after p. 100 (p. [1]52), however only half of the final paragraph of Chapter 11 is lacking.
