[Summa dictaminis] ...[etc.].

Abstract:

Text of the Summa dictaminis of Thomas de Capua. Also contains 15 shorter works on the same topic by Johannes Bondi de Aquilegia (Giovanni da Aquileia), though for some of the works the attribution to Bondi is not secure. The shorter works may have been bound with the Summa dictaminis (which has worm damage on the leaves at the end consistent with being at the end of a volume) at the time of rebinding. There is a table of contents in Latin in a much later hand on the front paper flyleaf.
