Extracts copied by Trevelyan from Layamon's "Brut"; blank verse retelling of the story of Siddhartha; "Everyman, Scene I" with characters Worldly Wiseman and Fight-the-good-fight, both on recto with corrections and additions on facing page.
From the back of the book inwards: extracts from the "Buddha Carita or the Life of the Buddha", translated by E. B. Cowell, on Siddhartha's 'Four Sights' [unlike Trevelyan's hand, and possibly copied out by Gordon Luce?]; retelling of Siddhartha's story in rhyming verse, on recto with corrections and additions on facing page.
