First edition: In 1472, three publishers printed this collection in Venice. It is not possible to establish who was the first between Franz Renner (10/1) and Bartolomeo da Cremona (10/2), while it can be argued that Wendelin von Speyer (10/3) was not the first one; on this issue and on the collection's printing history, see Mariani 2017.  From 1479 onwards, this Lenten sermon collection is also edited as part of of Caracciolo's Opera. There are about 10 manuscripts that contain more or less the entire sermon collection and about other 10 with significant parts of it; all of them seems copied from the printed editions; see Visani 1999. A very useful scheme of the sermons (title, liturgical day, thema, and Latin division) is published in Mariani 2022, pp. 378-399. Note on the description of the sermons.  The database follows the Renner edition (10/1), where the subject matter of each sermon is divided, at the textual level, into a first division by keywords (usually Primum/Secundum/Tertium dicitur + main term), followed by a brief clarification (serving as the title of the following textual segment), which is put at the beginning of each section. In the filing process, the two portions of text - divided, as mentioned, in the printed text - have been merged together.
