An early medieval Latin florilegium whose contents can be described as an eclectic mix of theological and exegetical matter and include many apocryphal items. Many of the sources have been identified as Anglo-Saxon, Irish or continental. No manuscripts are known to survive but Johann Herwagen included a version in his collected works of Bede (Basel, 1563).
A collection of excerpts from the Bible, focusing on a number of well-known sinners and their punishments. Some features, such as its use of the term vindicta crucis, might betray a Hiberno-Latin origin for the compilation.
