Questions on Peter Lombard, Sentences, book 4
Incipit: Samaritanus. Queritur quid sit sacramentum et diffinitur pluribus modis. Primo dicit magister Sacramentum est sacre rei signum, sed contra, Ymago crucifixi est sacre rei signum, non tamen est sacramentum
Incipit: (fol. 32) Queritur utrum sacramenta debuerunt institui. Videtur quod non. Superfluum est fieri per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora, sed homo sufficienter potuit reparari per fidem et virtutes, ergo superfluunt sacramenta
Explicit: sub racione sufficientissimi omnia reputantis

Rudolf Anton Fabricius (1689–1772) (?): an eighteenth-century inscription (fol. i recto) reads ‘Hieronymi Seripandi, Cardinalis, qui Concilio Tridentino interfuit, (mortui A. 1563) Tractatus non editus, de Sacramentis in genere, et in specie, argumentisque aliis connexis. Contenta hujus libri vide sub finem. Fuit in Auctione Rud. Aug. Fabricii, Prof. Helmst., qui eum ex itinere Italico attullit.’.
