Miscellany volume assembled and supplied with catchwords by Friedrich von Amberg (Guardian of the Fribourg Franciscan Convent, † 1432) from different parts that were produced independently. The volume, divided into ten parts, contains in addition to preaching materials excerpts from William Peraldus's Summa de vitiis (Part 4), Ludolph of Saxony's Rationes XIV ad proficiendum in virtute (Part 5), Francis of Meyronnes's Moralia (Part 7), and Engelbert of Cologne's Sermones de sanctis (Part 10). The parchment pastedowns and flyleaves are from a fifteenth-century testament, probably to the benefit of the Franciscans. Several parchment quire guards in present, among which appear fragments of a thirteenth/fourteenth century commented manuscript, a fourteenth-century grammatical treatise, and a charter from the fourteenth century. The manuscript has a chained binding, covered in heavily worn leather, and restored in 2021. (cam)
