As one turns from such unified sermon collections as Waldeby's or Brinton's or Dygon's to the miscellaneous one of MS Balliol College 149, one enters a different world. This impression begins at the visual level. The volume is made up of two booklets, both of the fourteenth century. The first, with which alone we are concerned here (S, ff. 1–92v), contains twenty-three sermons. These are written in two different hands that change in the middle of a gathering: a fourteenth-century Anglicana text hand, used by someone who apparently tried to imitate a gothic textura and who begins his sermons with rather homespun enlarged and flourished capitals, yields on f. 75v to a more regular Secretary hand (possibly even two) of the same period, which wrote two sermons running to f. 84 (with a renvoi back to f. 77). Evidently the second scribe was also responsible for many annotations throughout the booklet and for the corrections made in the sermons written by the first hand, which at times are quite heavy. Other codicological features draw similar attention. At the time of binding, two bifolia got exchanged (the fourth bifolium in gatherings 4 and 5), and the error was noticed by a fifteenth-century annotator. Some text is missing and is said to be found “in papiro,” which is now lost. One sermon exists in two different versions.
