Summary
This fifteenth-century manuscript contains a set of forty-one sermons (one appears twice) and a version of the Gesta Romanorum, each in a different hand. The sermons form a random collection, mixing pieces for various Sundays, one or two saints’ feasts, and various special occasions. Though their collector or indeed author remains anonymous, it seems that he was an Augustinian canon and doctor of canon law.
An unusally large number of these sermons, either according to their rubrics or by internal references, were delivered at visitations, at a synod, or to the clergy. Several visitation sermons were preached at an unspecified Augustinian house (16, 17, 32), and in them the preacher speaks of “our order,” “our rule,” and “our most blessed father Augustine.” In addition, on internal evidence E-18 also was preached at a visitation. It deals heavily with clerical duties and adduces a host of canonistic citations. Preaching at a synod is represented by three sermons that are linked by cross references and a common distinction: E-8, which is copied a second time as E-42, speaks of “in hac sacra sancta sinodo,” and a later reference to this sermon reveals that it was preached at Easter. In it, the preacher begins with a threefold medieval etymology of the noun sacerdos: sacra dans, sacer dux, and sacris deditus vel satis dans (18va). He then uses the first and speaks of the seven sacraments and the sacerdotal office.
