[De horis canonicis]

It is asked whether the Mass is one of the canonical hours, and whether the Mass is included under the term "offices," and whether bishops are bound to say Masses by reason of honesty, counsel, or necessity? And what if they neglect to say Masses out of contempt; do they sin, and can they be punished? See the question that begins: "I ask further whether the Mass, etc."

It is asked if a beneficiary does not come to the church or does not wish to participate in divine services, and if he comes but does not officiate with the others, as if he considers this a disgrace, or if, when he does come, he does so because of distributions, etc.; can such a person be compelled to officiate along with the others? And ought a beneficiary to be absent from his benefice, especially on solemn days, and if he is absent, by what penalty can he be punished, and for what reason are the fruits given to clerics? See the question that begins: "I ask, suppose that a beneficiary, etc."

It is asked whether literate nuns can read and sing the divine offices in a loud voice, and whether in the blessing that is given to them they receive an order, and which one? And is such an order one of the seven orders of the church, and can such a nun so blessed read the Gospel, say "The Lord be with you," and minister at the altar? See the question that begins: "I ask what of ecclesiastical men, etc."

It is asked concerning him who has several benefices; is he bound to repeat these hours several times? And what of him who takes double emolument; ought he to undergo a double burden? And if, to one who has a benefice, another is conferred, should he be dispensed so that he is not bound to repeat more hours? And in what cases can a cleric be a pluralist, and whether, if he has enough for his life, he ought to seek more? And what of that which is left over for him; is it his or the poor's? And can a cleric make a will? See the question that begins: "I ask consequently, because it has been said."

It is asked what if a cleric is a beneficiary in two churches in which different offices are performed; the office of which church ought he to perform? See the question that begins: "I ask, because of the above-mentioned things, etc."
