One of the earliest surviving codices produced entirely in Galicia outside the cathedral scriptoria of Santiago or Ourense. Offers key evidence for the rise of Galician-Portuguese as a written language in civil and religious contexts. The Portus Apostoli legend prefigures the later maritime cult of the Virxe da Peregrina.
