MS. Bodl. 50 – Part B
Contents
A set of similar notes for Sunday sermons, beginning with the same two texts as art. 1, but the first note is almost illegible: the 2nd beg. 'Abiciamus opera ... Opera tenebrarum dicuntur peccata': whereas the former one (at fol. 1v) beg. 'Abiciamus opera ... Sicut dicitur Iob. vij.': after fol. 239 some leaves are wanting, and perhaps what follows belongs to yet another set of notes. In this section (B) there are some sermons, mixed with the notes.
