Raymundus de Penafort, Summa de poenitentia et matrimonio
Rubric: Summa Raymundi

2. (fol. 112)
Richard Wetheringsett, Summa qui bene presunt
Rubric: Summa magistri Ricardi
Incipit: Qui bene presunt presbiteri ... Presbiter grece, senex latine dicitur

The opening words of the text, which follows a prose preface (beginning as above) and a short set of verses beginning 'Hec sunt precipue sermonibus insinuanda', seem to imply that the treatise is based on, or in accordance with, the 'dicta bone memorie W⟨illelmi⟩ de Montibus quondam cancellarii Lincolniensis, cuius anime propicietur Deus': Gulielmus de Monte, more commonly known as Gulielmus de Leicestria, who died in 1213.

Some Latin notes follow on foll. 149–51, partly from the 5th book of the Decretals.
