Amalgamation of several collection of arms. On first page is a copy of a 1579 grant of arms by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux, to George Fulwood, with copied signatures of Cooke and of Dethick, Garter. Hence the rest of the manuscript has been ascribed to them. One alphabet in blotchy color, one fuller, one in trick, another with verbal descriptions of arms. More arms in a fourth hand at end.
