This is followed by a sermon by John Chrysostom and the Historia Griseldis by Francesco Petrarca (1304-74). At the end of the book is a short tract on tribulation. The manuscript was made in the southern Netherlands, and the sermon by John Chrysostom has a colophon dating its writing to 1468. A coloured woodcut of the Doubting of Thomas has later been pasted into the book.
