Sacerdos ad altare is accompanied by extensive glosses on grammar, lexicography, etymology, or literature and history. It also contains information and vocabulary about various aspects of priestly, monastic, ecclesiastical, courtly, clerical, and even scribal life. There is also a brief entry on rhetoric.
