1. 10. A sermon on marriage by Konrad Holtnicker
This sermon also illustrates the combination of marriage symbolism and
emphasis on the holiness of marriage on a literal and human level. The
sermon and collection belong to the ‘model sermon’ genre. The author
was a thirteenth-century German Franciscan.
MS Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Clm 2946 (=M), with
occasional corrections from MS Paris, BN lat. 3742 ( =P)
M is a parchment manuscript, ‘in 4O’, of 308 folios. The catalogue dates
it to the fourteenth century; I would put it in the first or even second
half of the thirteenth. In addition to the ‘de tempore’ sermon collection
from which this comes, and what looks from the description like an
index applying the sermons to liturgical slots, it contains the ‘Liber
scintillarum’, presumably the work by Defensor of Li›ege. It came to the
Staatsbibliothek from the Bridgettine nunnery of Altm•unster.
There is an exemplary scholarly description of P in Biblioth›eque Nationale,
