Susanne,
Might your text ("Sermons?") be a capitulare evangelii, also known as
comes, i.e. "companion" of the Gospels? These capitularies were a kind
of list of contents of various Gospel readings given throughout the
liturgical year.Typically, they included the chapter of Gospel to be
read and the author, the pertinent incipit, the day (or days) when it
was supposed to be read.The entries were arranged according to the
liturgical calendar.
Capitularies are not always easy to find in catalogues, because often
they do not have an independent life, but are appended to lectionaries
(Scriptural readings) or possibly homiliaries (collection of sermons),
constituting the last pages of a manuscript, just as you would expect an
index to do. I am not up to recent publications on the topic, but a good
beginning, with numerous texts, is "Das Roemische Capitulare
Evangeliorum" by Theodor Klauser (Muenster 1935, series "Liturgie -
Geschichte der Quellen 28, Aschendorff Verlag). You might give it a try.
About Gioacchino da Fiore: Why not write directly to the Centro di
Studi gioachimiti, San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria (Italy) and ask for
their two volumes with the proceedings of two congresses on Joachim:
"Atti del I Congresso Internazionale di studi gioachimiti" (San Giovanni
in Fiore 1980) and "L'eta dello spirito e la fine dei tempi in
Gioacchino da Fiore e nel gioachismo medievale" being Atti del II
Congresso Internazionale di studi gioachimiti, ed. A. Crocco.
