Manuscript 74 is a composite manuscript, combining five texts of various natures: (ff. 1r-74r) Nicolaus de Tornaco super Lucam; (ff. 74r-79v) De beata virgine; (f. 79v) note on plainchant; (ff. 81r-86r) Expositio super orationem dominicam; and (ff. 86v-95v) Expositio super symbolum Constantinopolitanum, recension prima. The first text is attributed by the scribe to the thirteenth-century French Dominican Nicholas of Gorran (Nicolaus de Tornaco) and is a commentary on the Gospel according to Luke. As the authorship of Nicholas for other Bible commentaries is now dubious (cf. mss. 28 and 29), the attribution of this text is also uncertain. The second text is a sermon on the Virgin Mary. The name of the text is not set, the most extensive name found in literature is Comparatio Mariae cum rebus naturalibus et artificialibus (Comparison of Mary with natural and manmade objects). The author is unknown, though it is grouped with sermons by the Dominican William Perault (d. 1271) in a manuscript kept at the Mainz Municipal Library. The third text is a part of the Ars lectoria by the late eleventh-century Aimericus of Angoulême. The copy is corrupt, giving variant readings and omitting words and phrases. At the end of the leaf, the text abruptly stops. A blank leaf, showing only the pencil lines of the layout, introduces the fourth text. This is an tractate on the Sunday lecture, the author of which is unknown (the fenestra title of this manuscript reads Tractatus cuiusdam; 'Someone's tractate'). The last text is a commentary by Simon of Tournai (d. 1201) on the Nicean-Constantinopolitan Creed, the statement on several fundamental doctrines of Early Christianity. The manuscript dates to the late thirteenth and fourteenth century, and was possibly written in Flanders. The text is laid out in two columns, for which the pencil lines are still visible. The large initial of the first text is executed in red and blue; the smaller ones at the beginning of the second and third texts are blue with red penwork. The fourth text has a large initial in red and green, while the fifth has a smaller in red and green. While the manuscript is written as a single entity, in a uniform layout and with contemporary rubrication and marginal notes added in red ink, it can be divided in two units, each of which contains multiple texts continuously one after the other, without any additional boundary markers other than the smaller initials. The first three texts form one unit; their initials have been decorated using blue ink. After the abrupt truncation of the third text, and separated by the blank leaf, the last two texts form the other unit. Their initials contain green ink. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
