This manuscript contains a series of homilies on the Gospels arranged by feast days. At the end of the work someone has added notes, along with the following inscription in Latin: This book is for the use of Brother Gabriel de Vultis (or Vultris) which he purchased from Brother Gabriel de Pichotis (or Picehotis). The initials FGDP occur at the bottom of the last page.
