Contents Note

This text is not presented as separate sermons but as one long single commentary, despite having homiletic origins.

Material Features

Paper, folio, 559 leaves. The whole manuscript is written out in full in a clear hand with marginal citations of Scripture and other authorities and a few additions and deletions. The text can be rather difficult to decipher because the paper is thin and the ink is showing through from the reverse of the paper.

Source of Data

Lucy Busfield; Henry O. Coxe, Catalogus codicum mss. qui in collegiis aulisque oxoniensibus hodie adservantur, vol. 1 (Oxford, 1852)
