- Content Description
Fragments contain a part of chapter 149-150 on respectively the lives of St Francis and St Pelagia. The preserved text corresponds to the edition by Graesse, p. 673 (recto: '[vi]scera patrui trans[fixit] ... cecidisset et penitus') and 674-675 (verso: '[si]milia diceret subito ... [poeni]tentiam ei salutarem iniunxit'). The second fragment, fol. [1], could not be identified more specific due to the severe fragmentation.
- Edition Jacobi a Voragine Legenda aurea: vulgo historia lombardica dicta, ed. by Johann Georg Theodor Graesse, 3rd edition (Vratislaviae: apud Guilelmum Koebner, 1890).
