Beautifully printed by Giunta, the woodcuts depict church life as well as civil life. This collection of canon law norms includes Boniface VIII's Sacrosanctae bull from 1298, which integrated the Liber Extra with the newer canonical norms from 1234. It was issued during a period of intense conflict between the Papacy and European monarchs. Pope Boniface VIII (r. 1294–1303) was a controversial figure due to his involvement in foreign affairs. He became a personal enemy of the poet Dante due to his interference in Florentine politics (ultimately resulting in the poet’s exile). Boniface was the target of allegations regarding witchcraft and sorcery, largely propelled by his political enemies, particularly King Philip IV of France. Accusations suggested he kept a familiar demon, practiced magic, and was a "good friend of the Devil". These charges were, in part, a political weapon to discredit him and a reflection of 14th-century anxieties, with claims that he was a sorcerer, a diviner, and an enchanter who used illicit arts. The third work, Extravagantes viginti Joannis vigesimisecundi (Twenty Extravagants of Pope John XXII) is a specific collection of twenty papal constitutions (decretals) issued by Pope John XXII (1316–1334) that were not included in the official Clementines (constitutions of Pope Clement V) and were therefore considered to be "wandering" or "outside" (extravagantes) the Corpus Juris Canonici. On the verso of fol. 137 is a woodcut depicting an itinerant conjuror performing tricks to an audience, with a caption warning that clerics should not engage with such undignified persons, as conjurors are jokers, fools, and buffoons.
