from Part I - The Collections
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2009
Like collection S, this Dominican manuscript, which has been carefully studied by Thomas Kaeppeli, gathers a number of sermons by different authors who were connected with Oxford. The paper-and-parchment codex, which I believe is of the early fifteenth century, is written in one column by several hands, all of the Secretary type with different degrees of cursiveness but no Anglicana features. It contains ninety-one items, of which one occurs first incomplete and then, at the end of the collection, was copied complete with slight changes. The ninety sermons are de tempore, de sanctis, and for special occasions and stand in a random order. On the basis of changes in hand as well as blank folios, the volume seems to have been made up of several booklets. At the end of the first booklet, comprising four gatherings of sixteen, the scribe responsible for the catchwords wrote a table for the sermons in the entire volume, with folio numbers, listing them first in the order in which they occur in the manuscript (ff. 58–60v) and then (ff. 61–64) by their occasions (“ut decet ordinatorum”), where he gives first fifty-two temporal sermons by season (Advent through Trinity Sundays), next twenty-eight saints’ sermons (which include Christmas and Easter), and finally four “sermones peregrini,” two sermons “pro laude scripture” (i.e., academic introitus), and seven sermons “pro synodo.”
