Sometimes found without the "Flos theologiae".  "It is probable that the two parts should be kept separate."--BM (XV cent.)

Sometimes found with sections bound in variant sequence.

Part 1 (signatures 1-5, 1a-m) is Flos theologiae, preceded by its tables (Themata de tempore; Themata de sanctis; De co[m]muni sanctorum; Tabula alphabetica; Tabula materie applicabilis). Part 2 (signatures chi, 2a-x) is Quaestiones evangeliorum, preceded by its table (Tabula questionu[m]).

Incipit of Flos theologiae (1a1) reads: Incipit materia aurea enucleata ex originalib[us] virtutu[m] et vitioru[m], Flos theologi[a]e nu[n]cupata, [secundu]m ordine[m] alphabeti pro sermonib[us] applicabilis tam de tempore q[uam] de sanctis totius anni.

Flos theologiae is frequently attributed to Nicolas de Byard and cited as his Dictionarius pauperum (Cf. ISTC (RLIN) it00553000). Torquemada scholars attribute the work to him.  A recent discussion leaves the question open (Cf. Dictionnaire de spiritualité, v. 15, cols. 1052-1053).
