'Omologia thV orqodoxon pistewV upo twn graikwn poihqhsomenh prostagmati tou agiwtatou Kuriou hmwn Kuriou Grhgoriou Papa ig. ekdoqeisa

Confessio Saxonica. Latin, sixteenth century

Franciscus Titelman on Job. Latin, 1534

Franciscus Titelman, 'Exposito in Iob, 1534' (fo. iiv). Perhaps the Paraphrastica elucidato in librum D. Iob (Paris, 1550) - there is a copy in Emmanuel College. The colophon on fo. 146v reads: 'Explicit exposito Fratris Francisci Titelmanni hassellensis in librum Job compilata et conscripta per me Fratrem Jodocum anthonium Sol a traiecto veteri van oltricht in conventu Minorum Iovanii anno domini 1534 finis in die Sancte Clare.'

Treatise on the Seven Sacraments. Latin, c. 1600

An incomplete treatise on the seven Catholic Sacraments, concluding at fo. 327v: 'Finis Patris Santarelli'. No date, but c. 1600. It is defective at the start. The contents are:

Arguments against a treatise of Stephen Gardiner. Latin, sixteenth century

‘Reprobatio nugalium responsionum Marci Antonii Constantii ad obiectiones orthodoxorum’ (fo. 2r). At fo. 117r: ‘Reliqua sequu’ in proximo Libro’. There is a preface at fo. 1r, which begins: ‘Hinc omnium primum mira profecto papistarum impudentia est; quod Catholicorum nomen solis sibi vendicant’. An incomplete list of contents is at fo. iir. Marcus Antonius Constantius was a pseudonym of Stephen Gardiner (1483-1555), Bishop of Winchester.

Roman Catholic theological questions. Latin and Portuguese, c. 1600

Catholic controversial questions, some of them founded on the works of St Thomas Aquinas, in an unidentified hand, c. 1600. The contents are:

Catholic tract after Suarez's Disputationum. Latin, after 1606

Commentary on St Thomas Aquinas. Latin, c. 1600

Commentarius in S. Thomae / Tractatus de Conscientia. The many hands - I have counted at least nine - all date from around 1600, or perhaps a little after.
