The last nine chapters in Lacour are unidentified.

Collection of William W. E. Wynne, Esq., Peniarth, 

 Merionethshire, No. 92. Translation of Walter of Henley's 

 Husbandrie, attributed to Grosseteste. Historical MSS. 

 Commission, Report II. app. 106. 



1 The work contains a table of 

 English measures of land, as does 

 the English translation, but this 



does not occur in any other form of 

 the text.
