Rubric: Omelie bone memorie magistri Odonis de Cant. super Ewangelia Dominicalia (fol. 204)

First sermon on the 1st Sunday in Advent. The Sanctorale begins on fol. 204. A long table of contents is at fol. 1, and includes two sermons on fols. 2v-5 and one at fol. 305

The table makes it probable that there were originally four more treatises in the volume copied from, or possibly in the present MS. 'Tractatus de confessione, penitencia,' etc., 'de excommunicatione,' and two sermons.
