The manuscript was produced in multiple phases. The first two thirds, from the first decade of the fourteenth century, contain a fragment of the world chronicle ascribed to Baudouin d'Avesnes, and its illuminations can be attributed to a painter from the circle of Renaud de Bar in Metz. The last third, produced up to the middle of the fourteenth century, is composed of different devotional texts of a still poorly-studied corpus. Many of these texts can be found in other manuscripts that today can be found in Bern, Paris, and Metz, and can be ascribed to the later convent of the Celestines in Metz. This volume, which in 1570 was still in private hands, came to Bern in 1632 through Jacques Bongars.

The Physiologus is an early Christian collection of naturalist allegorical descriptions, from which medieval bestiaries developed. Although Cod. 233 – as opposed to the famous Cod. 318 – contains just the Physiologus without illustrations, it is nevertheless the earliest representative of the important Latin textual recension B. Further parts of the former compound codex are in the Bibliothèque municipale of Orléans and in the Burgerbibliothek Bern. The volume came to Bern in 1632 from the possessions of Jacques Bongars.

A collection of German-language fables by the Dominican Ulrich Boner and dedicated to the Bern Patrician Johann von Ringgenberg. The most important representatives of the most complete collection are the manuscripts Basel, Universitätsbibliothek AN III 17 and its presumed copy, this manuscript, Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Mss h.h.X.49, whose illustrations however are of a much lower quality. This manuscript, whose first two gatherings are missing, was probably copied by Hemon Egli, the bailiff of Erlach, or by a person close to him; through his grandson, Jakob von Bollingen, the book later entered into the Erlach family library in Spiez Castle. In 1875, Friedrich Bürki purchased it from the estate and donated it to the Bern City Library.
