Summary

Canons of the Council of Trent, from the first session in 1545 down through the 14th session in 1563 (p. 1-123, f. 123-149v). The text appears to be incomplete, breaking off in mid-sentence at the bottom of f. 149v. Also includes a tract on ordination (f. 179r-197r); and a Litany of the Virgin in ottava rima (f. 197v-202v; continued on f. 173v-174r).
