The volume contains texts and documents relating to the history of the abbey, including works on the life and veneration of its patron saint and copies of foundation charters purportedly issued by King Offa of Mercia.

F52v depicts the scene as St Germanus hangs a metal medal around St Genevieve’s neck as a protective sign.
