According to Morgan 1982, the manuscript is stylistically related to the manuscripts of the Life of St Cuthbert , Cambridge, Trinity College o. I. 64, and Yates Thompson 26 (formerly Additional 39943), produced in Durham. Illustrations are classed as transitional between First and Second Families of Bestiaries by James (1928).
