"The Euclid, written so far as the text goes, in large letters with the comentary in smaller letters, must be set down to the end of the thirteenth century.

Such an early and complete MS is hardly to be found outside the public librairies. It formely belonged to the monastery of St Martin at Tournai, and is mentionned by Antonius Sanderus in his Biblioteca Belgica, 1641.
