In addition to the books of the Old Testament and Apocrypha (Wisdom of Solomon, Letter of Jeremiah, Letter of Baruch, Baruch, Bel and the Dragon, Susanna, Judith, Bar Sira, Apocalypse of Baruch, 4 Ezra and all four books of Maccabees), Codex Ambrosianus (7a1) also contains Book 6 of Josephus' Jewish War, on the fall of Jerusalem.

Four missing bifolia from Numbers are supplied from BL MS Add. 14,427, and four missing bifolia from Chronicles are supplied from another manuscript of the same age.
