This text seems to have been composed by the scribe himself by putting together passages from Christian theologians. It is written in the same hand of the previous treatise, which bears the name of Sigfrid Slimdlin. It begins with a long extract taken from Ambrose Autpertus' Conflictus vitiorum atque virtutum ('The Contest between Vices and Virtues'). In her catalogue, Catherine Borland entitles this work Tractatus de Radicibus Perturbationum ex SS. Patribus compositus per ipsum fratrem Sifridum ('Treatise on the roots of perturbations, composed by Brother Sigfridus himself from the Holy Fathers'); this title is based on the incipit of the section which starts on f. 105v: Nota xiii sunt radices perturbationum.

The text begins on f. 104v with the words Augustinus de conflictu vitiorum et virtutum dicit O quam amarus est superbie congressus; it ends on f. 108v with the words quem suscipere dignatus est disciplina morum fuit.
