Summary
Collection of six Latin manuscripts:
Fol. 1. Sermons for saints' days and feasts, imperfect at beginning. The hand changes at fol. 41. The first complete sermon beg. 'Hodierne die sollemnitas', and is for Christmas Day
Fol. 49. 'Liber sermonum', chiefly in double columns to fol. 56v, beg. 'Adaperiat dominus cor nostrum.'
Fol. 90. Sermons, or notes for sermons, written in a minute hand, beg. 'Sex sunt que odit deus'
Fol. 105. A similar section, beg. 'Maleficos non pacieris viuere'. On fol. 112 is a recipe (13th cent.) to cure dysentery, perhaps in the same hand as that on fol. 131v, 'Ad colurium oculorum faciendum'
Fol. 113. Sallust's Catiline: beg. 'Omnis homines qui sere student'
Fol. 133. Notes for sermons, followed (fol. 137) by further sermons roughly written out. A copy of a contemporary grant, half illegible, from Richard de Cotes to Henry de Hulemor of an acre of meadow in (?) Doluwe, is on fol. 139. Fols. 143, 149 are palimpsest, the undertext being part of a 13th-cent. theological MS. in a good book-hand
