An early copy of the Sentences commentary by the English Dominican, William de Rothwell, probably composed between 1270 and 1280. This text is an abbreviation of the commentary of Peter of Tarentaise (Pope Innocent V) on Peter Lombard's Sentences. Text is comprised of a Tabula (f. 1-20) which lists questions from Peter Lombard's Sentences in order of their appearance in that text, with William de Rothwell's excerpts from the commentary in 4 books (f. 24-139). Kent Emery suggests this text may have been used for meditations.
