Incipit (leaf [24]/5v): "Hugo de Sa[n]cto Victore. Trinitati in tribus sacrifica[n]du[m]. In dicabo tibi o homo [et]c (Micah 6:8). Quia [et] deus, qui trinitas est, non nisi trino sacrificio digne placari potest." ... Explicit (leaf [24]/6r): "...veru[m] sacrificu[m] teq[uam] ip[su]m deo offers cum ad eius similitudinem reformaris."
