Summary

Handbook of canon law and pastoral theology for parish priests (f. 1r-177v). It appears to be a reworking of an earlier manual (circa 1320) by William of Pagula. Part and chapter numbers are written in the upper outer corners, and subsections of chapters are marked with marginal letters in alphabetical order, a through z, then aa-az, ba-bz if necessary (for example, f. 68v). Followed by an alphabetical register (tabula) for the work (f. 178r-193v), which references the chapter section letters.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from spine and explicit (f. 177v). The author's name is given on the spine and in the Zacour-Hirsch Catalogue as John de Burgh.
   
• Incipit and explicit: (f. 1r) Humane condicio nature iam senescente mundo de cursu temptoris [sic] continue vergens ... (f. 177v) Et sic tractatus ite [sic] sub denario numero partium terminatur.
   
• Welsh ownership notes and an abraded ownership note at the end of the volume (f. 193v).
   
• On file in the Library is a three-page description of the manuscript and discussion of its contents by Peter Collins and Ruth J. Dean of the University of Pennsylvania, dated May 1974. It is accompanied by photographs and materials describing the cathedral of St. Deiniol in Bangor, Wales.
   

Extent

193 leaves : 253 x 182 (194 x 143) mm bound to 265 x 190 mm

Collation

Parchment, ii (modern paper) + 193 + i (modern paper); 1-7¹², 8¹⁰, 9-14¹², 15¹²(-1), 16¹², 17⁴; [1-193]; modern foliation in pencil, upper right recto. Remnants of trimmed signatures in red ink visible in the lower right recto corner of a few leaves, for example in quire 2 (f. 13r, 14r), quire 9 (f. 99r), and quire 11 (f. 119r). Catchwords in an enlarged Gothic textualis script, lower right of last verso of each quire, in a decorative border. The catchword at the bottom of f. 130v does not match the first words of f. 131r; this suggests that a quire may be missing. Link to collation model at end of record.
