From the British Academy description:

Published Information: See Catalogue général des Manuscrits des Bibliothèques publiques de France: Université de Paris (Paris: Plon, 1918), pp. 68-9. Dates MS to 15th century. On fol. 187v [in reference to 2 Dial.]: "Per manum Yvonis de Vico Croceo, dyocesis Leonensis oriundi". [On spine] Collegium Trecorense, [fol. 35r] Collegium Ludovici Magni.

Observations: 1 Dial. and 2 Dial. in one hand, 3.2 Dial. in another. Material was missing before the MS was foliated. The text begins part way through 1 Dial. 2.22, it ends part way through 3.2 Dial., 2.18; the last verso (212v) has a catchword ("absque iudicio"), suggesting that the exemplar had not run out. Between 29v and 30r about two folios worth of text is missing.

The codex is in gatherings of 12 folios, except 25-34, 143-153 (148 is a half sheet). 1 Dial ends on 168v and 2 Dial. begins on 169r, with no blank space separating the two parts, part way through a gathering (166r-177v); Parts 1 and 2 were never separate manuscripts. 2 Dial. ends at 187v, after which there is the stump of a half-sheet--this folio would have completed the gathering that began at 178r. Fol. 188rv is blank, 189r begins 3.2 Dial. and a new gathering, in different handwriting. It is possible that the codex binds a copy of 1 and 2 Dial. with an originally separate copy of 3.2 Dial.

Collation shows that in Part 1 Un belongs to the family that includes Ca Vd La.
