Catalogue Note
This is the fourth of about a dozen editions printed in the fifteenth century. Chaimis was a Milanese Franciscan (died 1496), and in this treatise on the confessional, he lists not just sins in general but specific questions relating to the sins of different people, whether they are children, married couples, priests, merchants, students, craftsmen, farmers, butchers or tavern keepers.
