Beati Hieronymi, Vis nunc acriter mi fr[ater] Desideri (fols. 30r-32v) elsewhere ascribed to Bede. Augustini, De Vera Poenitentia (on fols. 188r-189r) perhaps by Pseudo-Augustinus. Dante, Nonnulla excerpta ex Dantis operibus (fols. 338r-339v) identified by Dr. Marcella Roddewig as excerpts from Dante, de monarchia, volg. Finico. Psellus material (fols. 348-355) identified in 1998 by Paul Moore of the University of Toronto as copied from Foscarenus' Latin translation (Venice 1532, Paris 1541) of two Greek works edited by Arsenios Archbishop of Monembasia (Venice 1532, Paris 1540). That portion of the manuscript is therefore dated after 1532.
