Aldobrandinus, de Tuscanella (ca. 1314)
Codex 62 is typical of composite manuscripts from the time around 1400 found in Franciscan convents. It contains sermonic material by known and unknown authors in the form of complete sermons, thematic selections and exempla. It is made up of 15 codicological units. Friederich von Amberg (ca. 1350-1432) assembled this collection, added a table of contents, and had it bound in Fribourg (Switzerland). The most valuable part of this miscellany consists of a set of 16 sermons on pennance by the Dominican St. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419), delivered by the sermonist between March 9 through 21, 1404 in Fribourg, Murten, Payerne, Avenches, and Estavayer. Friedrich von Amberg made a fair copy and incorporated it as the 6th codicological unit (fol. 45r-97v) of this composite manuscript.

Composed partly in parchment (pp. 1-74) and partly in paper (pp. 75-98), this fourteenth-century manuscript brings together three different texts. The Compendium moralitatum (1320-1322) of the Dominican James of Lausanne is built as a dictionary running from A[bicit mundus …] (p. 1a) to Y[pocrita] (p. 36b). There then follows the Symbolum magistri domini Bonae Venturae, as the rubric calls it (p. 37), which is in fact a text attributed to the Dominican Aldobrandinus de Tuscanella, copied by a different hand than that of the preceding text (pp. 37a-72a). The section in paper contains excerpts from the Questiones de prologo quarti sententiarum (pp. 75a-98a) by the English Carmelite John Baconthorp (c. 1290-1348) [https://drcs.zahnd.be/oid/100499]. The cords and the sewing stations on the inside of the spine of the book (after p. 98) show that another part of the manuscript was originally bound in, and has since been removed. Fragments of canon law texts from the fourteenth-century serve as pastedowns.

The manuscript was produced in the late fourteenth century and shortly after the middle of the fifteenth century. The first half (pp. 17–347) was largely copied by Johannes Schorand (except pp. 17–47) and on p. 123, 303 and 347 is dated 1398. Pages 348–412 are written by several hands from the fifteenth century. The last part (pp. 413–538) comes from the hand of the Dominican friar Cuonradus Bainli and contains several datings: 1455 (p. 470, 475 and 488) and 1458 (p. 538). The manuscript contains predominantly sermons, but also other, chiefly theological, texts. On pp. 17–124 are the Sermones super Pater noster of Godefridus Heriliacensis (from Erlach on Lake Biel), followed by sermons De tempore on pp. 124–303. The explicit on p. 303 (Explicit Jacobus de Foragine) is deceptive; only a few sermons are by Jacobus de Voragine. In fact, the first 58 sermons are identical with the sermon collection of an anonymous Franciscan contained in Oxford, Merton College, MS 236 (15 c.), and referred to by its incipit, "Mendicus". Subsequently, from the eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Cod. Sang. 329 has a mixture of material from the “Mendicus”-sermon collection and additional sermons from Jacobus de Voragine's Sermones de tempore. After both sermon collections follow a few shorter texts: pp. 304–347 of the Tractatus de symbolo fidei by Aldobrandinus de Toscanella, pp. 348–353 an Easter sermon from Albertus Patavinus's Expositio evangeliorum dominicalium (Inc. Maria Magdalene et Maria Jacobi et Salome emerunt aromata … Licet magna leticia sit rem desideratam invenire), pp. 355-357 canonical dispositions, pp. 358-360 the chapter De sancto Petro apostolo from Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda aurea, and pp. 363-413 a Tractatus de amore dei, anime. The pages copied by Cuonradus Bainli begin with the Commentarius in decem praecepta by Henry of Friemar (pp. 413–475, with a detailed index pp. 470–475), followed by a Sermo de sacramento corporis Christi (pp. 479–488) and pp. 488–538 a text with the title Biblia virginis Marie, with a detailed index on pp. 488–491. The codex has various contemporary foliations. Johannes Lener owned the manuscript; after he died, it passed to Johannes Engler (cf. the comments in the hand of Johannes Schorand, p. 124 and 347, corrected and expanded by a fifteenth-century hand). Since the mid-sixteenth century at the latest, the manuscript was in the library of the Abbey of St. Gall, (p. 353, the library stamp of Abbot Diethelm Blarer, from 1553–1564).
