Summary: CCCC 528, made in Germany probably at Elbing in West Prussia, contains a set of sermons for the temporal whose author identifies himself in the prologue as Nicholas Lucas, rector parochialis ecclesiae in ganszhowa (G?sawa, Poland). The collection is dedicated to Wojciech Jastrz?biec, bishop of Pozna? which dates its composition to 1399-1412. The book has its contemporary cover, but this has been extensively restored in the twentieth century. This volume is part of the Elbing collection, a group of manuscripts associated with the Brigittine convent at Elbing (Elblag, Poland) which was founded in 1458 and deserted in 1521. Almost all the Elbing manuscripts contain the ownership inscription of Mary Pernham, wife of Richard Pernham (d. 1628), Fellow of the college and pastor Anglicus of St Marien church in Elbing from 1618-24. An inscription on the verso of the flyleaf relates to the Brigittine house at Elbing and is dated 1463. This provides indisputable evidence of ownership by the convent.
