CODICES MS.
Apud Sanderum, P. II in valle S. Martini, p. 209: Albertus magnus super primum Sententiarum. Et in Conffendunck p. 46: Albertus magnus in primum et secundum Sententiarum. Tomis duobus in fol. et pergameno. Paris. in Victor. cod. 925 fol. memb. in secundum Sentent. Quod in quarto Sententiarum, Dist. 31, de usu conjugii turpes quasdam quaestiones tractarit, egregie purgat ipsemet, ita, inquit, cogentibus monstris quae in confessione audiuntur. Ne ergo, ait Theophilus Raynaudus (Hoplot. sect. 2, serm. 3, cap. 10) confessarii rudes sint medicinae quam facere debent adeo frequentibus morbis, justum censuit Albertus in illud oletum stylum demittere. Neque est quod putes hujusmodi libros inter historias peccare docentes computandos, alioquin ipsa peccatorum confessio esset prohibenda, quod nemo catholicus sine horrore audiat. Non hujusmodi opera quaerunt voluptatis amatores, ceu in quibus una severius redarguuntur. Si qui vero exinde sibi perniciem aliquando crearint, cogitet unusquisque nihil esse tam bonum, quo vel ipsa scriptura sacra mali non abutantur.

Prima pars Summae theologiae. Pr. Mirabilis facta est scientia tua ex me, etc. Psal. 138.
TOMUS XVIII.
Secunda pars. Pr. Exod. 34 dicitur quod descendens Moyses de monte, etc. Laudant Pignon et Valleoletanus.

ANCIENT EDITIONS.
Basel, Jacob of Pforzheim, 1506, folio. This edition exists at Paris in Saint-Genevieve, the Sorbonne, and Navarre, and is praised in the English catalogue in the library of John More. In the Barberini, however, it is without place, year, and name of printer. Is it the same or a different one?
MANUSCRIPT CODICES.
In Sanderus, part II in the valley of St. Martin, page 209: Albert the Great on the first book of the Sentences. And in Conffendunck, page 46: Albert the Great on the first and second books of the Sentences. In two volumes in folio and parchment. Paris, in Victor, codex 925, folio parchment, on the second book of the Sentences. As to the fact that in the fourth book of the Sentences, distinction 31, on the use of marriage, he treated certain foul questions, he himself excellently clears it, thus, he says, because of the monsters that are heard in confession compelling him. Therefore, says Theophilus Raynaud (Hoplotheca, section 2, sermon 3, chapter 10), lest confessors be unskilled in the medicine which they ought to make for diseases so frequent, Albert judged it just to lower his style into that foul matter. Nor is there reason for you to think that books of this sort are to be counted among histories teaching how to sin; otherwise the very confession of sins would have to be prohibited, which no Catholic could hear without horror. Lovers of pleasure do not seek works of this sort, since in them they are more severely rebuked. But if any from this should at some time create destruction for themselves, let each one consider that there is nothing so good that evil men do not abuse even sacred Scripture itself.
VOLUME XVII.
The first part of the Summa of Theology. Beginning: Your knowledge has been made wonderful from me, etc. Psalm 138.
VOLUME XVIII.
The second part. Beginning: Exodus 34 says that Moses, descending from the mountain, etc. Pignon and Valladolid praise it.
