This copy of the Summula apparently includes material not found in the Frankfurt manuscript cited by Schulte. That manuscript (Frankfurt-am-Main, Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek, Ms. Barth. 88) ends with "... generaliter per verba de presenti." A variant of that phrase ends the section De matrimonio in the present manuscript (f. 36r). The present manuscript then continues with sections...
Title supplied by cataloger (Zacour-Hirsch; Schulte); title Tractatus de confessione written in pencil in a much later hand on the first leaf (f. 1r).
Incipit and explicit: (f. 3r) Peccata que ad episcopum debent micti. Nota sexta tamtum [sic] casus quos debet sacerdos ... (f. 66v) per censuram ecclesia compellantur vel ambo[?] in concordia noluerunt continere.
