This manuscript contains a treatise "Ammaestramenti degli antichi" (Teachings of the ancients) by Bartolomeo da San Concordio, a Dominican friar (1262-1347). It is an Italian translation of his original text in Latin. The treatise contains approximately 2.000 religious and civil precepts. There are two codices in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence (Ms. II.II. 319 and Pal. 600) both containing the vernacular version of the work, and both illuminated in the workshop of Jacopo del Casentino.
In the initial "S" on folio 3 four figures are represented, the first being a portrait of the author in Dominican habit.
