Lectura Clementinarum , based on the commentary by Johannes de Imola.

The lecture notes comment on selected texts (with glossa ordinaria) of the Clementinae, starting with the introductory constitution with which Pope John XXII had promulgated the Clementinae, and ending with long explanations on c. Ad nostrum, in the title De haereticis [Clem. 5.3.3] (fol. 290v). Spot checks: Clem. 1.3.5 = fol. 36r, Clem. 1.3.6 = fol. 38v, Clem. 1.4 rubrica = fol. 43r, Clem. 2.1.1 = fol. 81r, Clem. 3.8 rubrica = fol. 210r, Clem. 3.10 = fol. 222r, Clem. 3.12 = fol. 246r, Clem. 3.15 = fol. 261r, Clem. 5.1 = fol. 275v, Clem. 5.3 = fol. 282.

The course started with a long enumeration of authors whose lectures on the Clementinae circulated as legal literature. The professor then recommended the work by Johannes de Imola, and he stated that he would base his course on that work as best he could. I have not found out where the lectures were held, and by whom.

Speedy Latin handwriting with many abbreviations. It is difficult to attribute an exact date to this MS. The Library's inventory of MSS attributes it to the beginning of the 16th century, but I have argued above, in the description of MS 199, that the present MS might have originated in the 15th century. The handwriting has characteristics similar, but not identical, to MS 199 part 2 and to the hasty writing in MS 201, fol. 2-15. The anchor watermark also points to the 15th century.

Fol. 14 is blank. On fol. 80v (end of book 1) only four lines are written, and fol. 281 is left free for lecture notes on Clem. 5.2 de iudaeis - which were never added, however
