Short Latin sermons for Sundays (fol. 1) and holy days (fol. 60) throughout the year: the first for the 1st Sunday in Advent beg. 'Deus iudex noster ... Duo notate primo, filii, Dei dingnitas, id est Deus iudex noster 2. ipsius in mundum aduenie[n]tis humilitas.'

A leaf or two are torn out at the end, and an index is added later with the following colophon:--'Hanc tabulam Dei adiutorio ... per alphabetum notabilia de isto libro extrahens composui ad profectum & utilitatem predicancium ego frater Petrus scriptorum de Scardona ordinis Minorum manu propria scribens 1428 Breberij [Brebir] post congregationem Chatarj [Cattaro, in Dalmatia] celebratam eodem modo Jn festo beati patris nostri Francisci.'

The fly-leaves are from a Latin treatise on Canon Law of the 14th cent.
