Abstract

MS Berkeley Robbins Collection 88 is largely unknown to modern scholarship. Once belonging to the Franciscan convent of San Bartolomeo in Foligno, this small format manuscript contains extracts from Bonaventure’ Legenda Minor of St Francis, a glossary of Latin words, miscellaneous sermons by Franciscan preachers such as Bertrand de la Tour, and a series of papal bulls concerning mendicant pastoral privileges. Additionally, it contains two texts by Peter of John Olivi: his eighth quaestio on evangelical perfection and a confessio clarifying this theory. A full description of the manuscript can be found at:

The relevant information concerning Olivi is below. It is notable that towards the end of the first text (on fol. 245r) there is a change from paper to parchment and from one column to two, apparently without a change of scribal hand.
