Sermons, chiefly for particular Sundays and Holy Days, in Latin, written in about the second quarter of the 15th cent. in Germany
An index is on fol. 226v: the volume is in more than one hand, and carelessly put together.
In the binding are two fragments of a 12th cent. missal. On the front inner cover is pasted an early print of st. Francis before a Crucifix, signed '14 BE 41', perhaps '14 42.'.
