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.
