Summary

This manuscript is a late sixteenth- or early seventeenth-century collection of Franciscan texts, including the Franciscan rule in twelve chapters as it appeared in the papal bull Solet annuere issued by Honorius III; the testament of Saint Francis of Assisi in Italian; and lists of precepts in Italian drawn from the rule. The erased text on the first leaf (fol. 1r) is from the third chapter of the rule, almost the same as a leaf of text within the manuscript (fol. 3r) but with slightly different line breaks.

Notes

• Rule in Latin (fols. 1v-9r); testament and lists in Italian (fols. 9v-15v)
