According to the opening paragraph these sermons were written by Wigandus, deacon of Przemysl, who dedicated the work to Matthew, who was bishop of Przemysl from 1392 to circa 1419-1420. The date in the incipit, 1427, probably refers to this copy rather than to the date of composition. The text appears to be unpublished--Cf. Nineteenth report to the Fellows of the Pierpont Morgan Library.
