| Notes: |
There are TWO VERSIONS of the sermon collection (both in print and in manuscript), which have minor differences (see Delcorno 2016).
Abundant presence of quaestiones (see entry: utrum).
Sermon's division follows the story of the Gospel, which is presented first briefly "circa litteram" and then "moraliter".
