Contents
Suzanne Yeager, 'Jewish Identity in "The Siege of Jerusalem" and Homiletic Texts: Models of Penance and Victims of Vengeance for the Urban Apocalypse', Medium Ævum 80 (2011), p. 72, notes that this collection was influenced by the Wycliffite cycle, and is known to have influenced two subsequent sermon collections. The sermons in this manuscript, Yeager observes, were assembled by a compiler working from sources of Odo of Cheriton and Nicholas of Aquevilla
