Contents
Rosarium theologiae
Incipit: Absolucio dicitur tripliciter, scilicet absolucio auctoritatiua
A dictionary of theological knowledge, arranged in alphabetical order of subjects: the last art. is Zizania, ends 'dicit Dominus noster Ihesus Christus, etc.', with a short added chapter on Pulchritudo. The first five chapters under E give a fair idea of the scope--Ebrietas, Ecclesia catholica, Edificacio, (Electio), Elementa. The title 'Rosarium Theologicum' occurs here only in a 16th cent. hand.
