The manuscript contains various Aristotelian texts, including works by Aristotle as well as commentaries on his texts. The volume came very early in the history of the University Library from the estate of the Basel Professor of Theology Johannes Syber de Wangen (d. 1502). It is still conserved in its original binding, which probably dates from the fourteenth century and was originally a chained volume.

The list contains the names of the professors, titles of the texts covered, lecturers' fees, and starting and ending dates for the lecture periods.
