| Additions | On the flyleaves (i, ii), in a hand of cent. xiii-xiv, f. ir: Form of cursing those who will not pay tithes, partly obliteratedf. iv: Excommunicati sunt ipso iure ffingentes nouam heresym etc., On f. iiir the note printed by Nasmith: in Parkerian hand. It mentions the date 1430, but this must be too late. In hoc postillatore fratre Willelmo de Mauli Wicklevista licet animadvertere quam parce utitur vanis narrationibus in confirmatione causae quam tractat, sicut mos erat fere omnibus predicatoribus illius temporis introducere vanitates et insanias falsas revelationum visionum et aliorum portentorum. De cujus genere habes in libro sequente hunc postillatorem copiam numerosam de miraculis, etc. figmenta quidem multa, qualia fingunt poetae de filiabus Danai quae hauriunt aquam cribris. Hic postillator non sophistice aut scholastice tractat conciones suas sed simpliciter et pure et fere omnia e verbo Domini. Hic in studiis usus est consilio cujusdam Petri Paine Oxon. sub A.D. 1430., On f. iiiv title in old pencil: Sermones boni qui dicuntur Abiciamus de tempore et de sanctis per totum annum cum narracionibus de beata virgine multis pulcris et autenticis et alia summa valde bona. Below this a partly erased cautio(?) of 1367 and a long note in pencil. |
