Sermons on the gospels, arranged for the whole Christian year, beg. 'Cum appropinquasset Jhesus Jerusalem etc... . Karissimi tempus presens' (fol. 1). There is an alphabetical index of subjects (fol. 132v) followed by a table of subjects referring to the second half of the book, which consists of sermons for saints' days, and an explanatory note 'In primis quotantur sermones par [sic] numerum algorismalem, deinde quotantur partes ipsorum par quatuor littere [sic] nominis compilatoris, nam S significat quidquid precedit sermonis processum, E significat primum principale, L secundum principale et K tercium principale' referring probably to Robert Silk, for whom see MS. Bodl. 410 (fol. 135).
The fly-leaves are taken from a 15th-cent. book of hours.
