    In fronte codicis occurrunt versis sequentes:
    Insimul et solo fecit deus omnia verbo,
    Post et eis tribuit quas species voluit,
    Coelum cum terra primoque fuere creata,
    Retulit ut Moyses, si legis invenies,
    Hoc ait, aeternum ne quis credat fore mundum,
    Vel sine principio, quod vetat et ratio.
Origin of the manuscript: sub b. Frowino abbate, quod probatur his versibus fol. 1:
Omnibus iste bonis liber placet exameronis,
