These folios of MS 139 seem to be a version of a text by the 13th-century cardinal and theologian, Hugh of Saint-Cher. Among several texts, Hugh's commentary on the Christian Mass, Speculum ecclesiae, was a very well-known and widely disseminated medieval text. The version in MS 139 begins on f. 90r with Incipit speculum ecclesie editum a domine hugone cardinali. Dicit apostolus ad Ephesios vi.Induite vos armaturam Dei. The text ends on f. 103r with the words Committere nos deus: contra peccatum cordis. Explicit speculum ecclesie editum a domine hugone cardinali.
