Summary
Manuscript on paper of a collection of sermons. The author is nowhere mentioned; the sermons are all in the learned style of Caracciolo (Robertus Caracciolus, Robertus de Licio OFM, 1425-1495), but only a few of them can be identified, so the authorship of most is not certified. With a list of impediments to Communion. The margins, inserted leaves and leaflets are covered with abundant additional material and notes in the same and in other contemporary hands, generally in Latin, some in Italian. In the text, the additions, and the notes a very large number of classical, patristic and medieval authors are quoted.
