Summary

CCCC 474, written c. 1300 in France, contains a single text, the Summa de casibus poenitentiae, by the canon lawyer Raymond of Peñafort OP (c. 1190-1275), perhaps the most popular of all medieval books on penance. The text is also in CCCC MSS 136 and 247. It has six fine historiated initials.
