Summary
Theological works and sermons:
(fol. 2) '[T]ractatus dompni Innocentii pape super septem Psalmos penitentiales': prol. beg. 'Ne inter occupationes': text beg. 'Cum omne tempus.' This is not certainly the work of pope Innocent iii (d. 1216).
(fol. 55) 'Incipit Summa secundum progressum numerorum a magistro Willelmo cancellario Lincolniensi composita': beg. 'Audi Israel ... Deus unus est . Contra apostolus ait': at end: 'Cuius summe finem facimus cui nomen Numerate imponimus. Plura quidem omissa in aliis opusculis nostris copiosius sunt exarata . Explicit.' This is a work on numbers as used in the Bible, by Gulielmus de Montibus or de Leicestria (d. 1213). fols. 94-7 are stained.
(fol. 96v) A work entitled Similitudines by the same, here without title or author: pref. beg. 'Ad declarandam in sermone': text beg. 'Amor terrenus inuiscat animam.'
(fol. 115) A work entitled 'Errorum quorundam climinatio', by the same, here without author: pref. beg. 'Ad eliminandum quorundam errores': text beg. 'Decollatio Iohannis Baptiste.'
(fol. 118) Two sermons, perhaps by the same, begg. 'Christus passus est pro nobis etc. Et si Christus id est unctus', and 'Nisi granum frumenti etc. Non dicit putrefactum.'
