The Sententiarum is a collection of theological writings meant to serve as a manual for the clergy. Most of the passages were culled from the works of Gregory the Great and St. Augustine. It is divided into three parts and covers subjects such as creation, the nature of evil, ecclesiastical orders, and the judgment of God. This page begins with a list of the chapters that comprise the first book of the compendium. This manuscript is one of two copies of this text in the Free Library.
