According to
Lehtinen (1996, 10–11)
the collection resembles the one found in
Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek, ms. M.ch.f. 121
(
H. Thurn,
Die Handschriften der Universitätsbibliothek Würzburg 2. Handschriften aus benediktischen Provenienzen 1
, Wiesbaden 1973
). A very similar collection is also found in
Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, Cod. Guelf. 439 Helmst
. Our manuscript adds a short draft for an alternate sermon on
Dominica 25 post pentecostes
(fol.
75v
). The collection includes both the summer and the winter cycle. Fols.

Fols. 179, 225, 253 are loose. Lacunae after fols. 1, 28, 96, 154, 192, 198, 245, 252, 278 (several), 289, 292. Part of fol. 123 has been torn. There is a stub after fol. 227 but no text is missing. After fol. 264 a stub.
Fols. 137 and 138 have been copied in the wrong order. The text from
137r
continues on
138r
, next comes
137v
and then
138v
. Another mix-up is found on fols. 246–248. The text breaks on fol.
245v
, and continues on
248r
–v, after that on
247v
and after that on
247r
and after that on
246r
. The next feast begins on
246r
and breaks on
246v
, and is continued from a different spot on
249r
.
Part I: one column; part II: two columns. Number of lines varies: I: up to (and over) 51, II: usually 43–47; ruled with vertical bounding lines (part I in ink, part II in pencil).
Several hands writing
saec. XV
gothic cursives by German hands (according to
Lehtinen 1996, 11
). In part I, containing the sermon collection, one main hand is responsible for much of the text. The first part is dated to
1400
(fol.
116v
). In the second part there are several hands writing longer sections. The quality of the script varies. In the second section, headlines occasionally written in textualis. Additions by several hands of
saec. XV
writing gothic cursives.
In part I: initials in red and brown or black, often with parts left uncoloured and forming different shapes (on fol.
111v
an animal’s beak?). In part II: simple red lombards for initials. Some are of very low quality. Overlining and letter emphasis in red, occasional paragraph marks in red.
Wooden binding with red leather covers decorated with blind-stamped frames and cross-hatching. Five bosses were attached to front and back covers. Remnants of two hook-clasps attached to the edges of the covers. A parchment charter from
Pope Nicolas V
concerning the city of
Greifswald
, dated
26.7.1449
, has been used for the two pastedowns.
Much of the manuscript is taken up by a collection of Sunday sermons and by a selection from the
Legenda Aurea
. The manuscript features several scribes and may be a result of compiling text from different sources. This is also suggested by the fact that the binding seems to have taken place several years later than the date
1400
given in part I (although it is possible that the date does not refer to the date of writing). The charter used for the pastedowns as well as the vernacular additions (
fol. 290r
) suggest an origin and early provenance in
Germany
. The sermon collection on fols. 1–116 is found in two manuscripts originating from Southern Germany, which may suggest that this manuscript also comes from that area.
The charter used in the binding suggests that the binding took place in
Germany
and that the manuscript was still there in the
middle of saec. XV
. On
fol. 290r
definitions of ‘expositio’ in German.
By
1654
the manuscript had ended up in Finland and in
Pöytyä church
.
Fol. 1r
(
saec. XVIII hand
): ‘Pöytis Moderkycka Tilhörig’. Mentioned in the church inventory
1654
,
1670
and
1729
.
The manuscript was moved to the
National Library
in
1863
. On back cover pastedown shelf-mark of the National Library ‘Cö.I.1’.
