Sermons on keeping the holy day, 15th century
Contents
Three sermons on the celebration of the weekly day of rest and worship, written in cursive hand. All three begin with a verse from the Deuteronomy, in which God reiterates his commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy: observa diem sabbati ut sanctifices eum ('observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy', Deut. 5:12). The scribe has collected the sermons together under the title Sermones de festivando ('Sermons on keeping the holy day').
First sermon: begins on f. 161r and ends on f. 171r with the words in celesti beatitudine ad quam nos etc. Amen.
Second sermon: begins on f. 171v and ends on f. 181r with the words cum gaudio autem esse quod nobis etc. Amen.
Third sermon: begins on f. 181r and ends on f. 187v with the words esse honestior, devocior, tranquillior et magis pacifica.
