Summary

A collection of two sermons of Nicolaus von Dinkelsbühl, "De decem praeceptis decalogi," and "De dilectione dei et proximi, sermones 6-12," plus other theological, philosophical, and devotional texts, from identified and unidentified authors.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from f. 43r.
   
• For the second work, "De fine mundi," there is a note at the end that the work is based on the edition "Impressus per Conradum Zenniger civem Nurmbergensem" [1481] (f. 32v).
   
• For the fifth work, "De dilectione dei et proximi," there is a list of the sermons at the end (f. 136r). This manuscript is unusual in that, although it begins with Sermon 6 (Incipit: Circa hoc mandatum de quo praecedenter locuti sumus...) it apparently includes a sermon not found in the majority of copies, Sermon 12, De accidia.
   
• Final folio (f. 200) has been torn, with modern repair [text incomplete?].
