Summary

Consists of papal bulls and documents concerning privileges granted to the Order of Teutonic Knights. Includes 82 bulls of Honorius III; 2 of Gregory IX, 3 of Innocent IV; 18 of Alexander IV; 1 each of Innocent III and Urban IV; also, 5 privileges of Emperor Frederick II. Folio 49v contains two notes that appear to date later than the rest of the manuscript: Nonne cor nostrum ardens in nobis (Luke 24:32) in red, and a passage concerning the observance of octaves on feast days.
