ROUSE MS 3. SERMONES DE TEMPORE ET DE SANCTIS, incomplete.

Summary: This is a disbound collection of quires, a physical state that has facilitated the loss of entire quires after the original foliation. Written by four scribes. A sermon collection incomplete at the beginning and the end, divided into temporal sermons from Advent to the seventh Sunday after Pentecost [= sixth Sunday after Trinity] and sanctoral sermons.
Description: Written in northern Italy in the last quarter of the thirteenth century. The opening words of the sermon on f. 183 — “Sicut dixi vobis hec mane” (As I said to you this morning …) — imply a community; observances for Saint Clare and Saint Antony of Padua, and the translation of Saint Francis with its indication that other feasts of Francis were observed (f. 285v), suggest a Franciscan origin. Purchased from Bernard Rosenthal, San Francisco in November 1985 by Richard and Mary Rouse. Given to UCLA in 2005.
