    folio, full ivory vellum, spine with 5 raised bands, handwritten pieces on the spine, a fine copy apart from some foxing, 176 p. + index.
    Here we have an extremely rare work (Schulte does not cite it in his works, and it is missing from both the Bibliothèque nationale de France and Berkeley) and of paramount importance: it is a treatise on the system of papal elections (presented in the form of debated questions). It is valuable for several curiosities: the prohibition against conspiring to have a pope elected; the principle that a heretic is, by definition, ineligible; that it is not possible to elect a pope while his predecessor is still in office; that a pope cannot name his successor, and so on. But beyond this, it meticulously describes all the rules followed by the conclave for the election. The work is made very accessible by its straightforward Latin.
