> Remarks | These five sermons are translated from a French version of the Latin sermons by Maurice de Sully (bishop of Paris 1160-1196). The translation is not from the French sermons included in the same manuscript, but rather from an (unknown) manuscript very similar to MS. Douce 270, Bodleian Library (D). The translation is quite literal, influencing, according to Hall, p. 669, the translator's "idiom, order and choice of words, even to the borrowing of an occasional inflection."
