[De horis canonicis]

It is asked when a priest celebrates Mass, is it lawful for those hearing Mass to read their own prayers, and especially when the prayer, epistle, and gospel are being read? And what of the literate and the illiterate, and how ought one to conduct himself when he hears the name of Jesus Christ mentioned? See the question that begins: "I ask when a priest celebrates Mass." See the answer on the second side of the folio.

It is asked because someone alleges that he does not have a resonant voice or does not know how to sing; is he to be excused? And why are many admitted to sing together, and is singing a matter of necessity in the church? And is he at fault who involves himself in an art he does not know? And what of a judge and doctor who is ignorant, and if someone feels himself unfit, ought he to endure to be promoted to orders and benefices? And what is required for someone to be promoted to a benefice, and what if he who ought to examine has not examined the one to be promoted? And ought such a one to be tolerated in benefices, and does such a one also make the fruits his own in the meantime? And how ought a cleric to conduct himself in singing? And is it lawful to mix songs into the organs or into the singing for the divine office? And what of dances, and other insolences that are sometimes done in churches? See the question that begins: "I ask because someone alleges, etc."

I ask whether it suffices for a cleric to read the hours mentally without verbal expression, and ought prayer to be mental or sonorous? And why must a cleric read them publicly, and why is the voice added to prayer? And what of Templars, converts, and the laity? See the question that begins: "I ask whether it suffices for a cleric." See the answer on the second side of the folio.

It is asked whether all must read the hours publicly, and who are they? See the question that begins: "I ask, because I have said above." See the answer on the first side of the folio.

It is asked what of a monk promoted to a secular church; ought he to perform the monastic office or that of the church to which he is promoted? And ought different offices be done in one and the same college? See the question that begins: "I ask next concerning a monk." See the answer on the first side of the folio.
