Source Description
A composite manuscript produced by at least 3 scribes, demonstrating similarities in layout and perhaps having a common place of origin. Contents are from a volume which formerly included additional manuscript material. The first work (Epistola missa) and several shorter works which follow it, are concerned with the question of reception of Communion under both species, a contentious issue with members of the Utraquist reform movement in Prague. Utraquism and other quasi-heretical views of the theologian Johann Müntzinger are considered in the pronouncements of the theological and canon law faculty which follow. The second half of the volume is largely comprised of the Lucidarium, (or Elucidarius) attributed to Honorius of Autun. Written as a dialogue between student and master, this immensely popular theological summa dates from the late 11th century. BPL's manuscript appears to be complete, with minor differences in spelling and word order from the text of Lefèvre's edition. The final work in this volume is the short Sermo based on the Apocalypse of St. John.

Origin: Written in South Germany, Austria, or Czech Republic in late fourteenth or early fiftenth century.
From a volume which included additional manuscript material. Several works are introduced by a later hand on the preceding page; on 24r a 16-line paragraph describes the following declarations from 1385 of the universities of Vienna and Prague and the canon law faculty of Vienna, repeating the explicit of that section and the name of the scribe Casper Reuter. The same hand has added an introductory comment on leaf 70 for the Sermo bonus which follows: "Sequitur sermo in quo 4 equi, quos vidit S. Joannes in insula Pathmos..." On the verso of final leaf 72 is described a manuscript which is no longer present: "Sequitur peregrinatio transmarina F. Udalrici ordinis minorum in qua mirabilia ...obiit [?] Fr. Vdalricus Ao. i33i die 14 januari post morte[m] miraculis claras ....".
