This work presents a semi-critical edition of the model sermon collection "Sermones moralissimi de tempore" by the French Franciscan Nicolaus de Aquaevilla, who lived in the late thirteenth century. It contains sixty sermons for the ordinary Sundays and the great Christological feasts. Model sermons offer editorial problems due to their big size and fluid character as well as the large number of textual witnesses. The aim is to find a pragmatic method to publish one influential version, and the edition is thus based on an incunable, printed shortly before 1480. Variants from three manuscripts are recorded in the critical apparatus. Eva Odelman obtained a PhD from Stockholm University where she was Assistant Professor from 1976, then Professor from 2000 on. She was editor of the "Glossarium mediae Latinitatis Sueciae 1974-2009" and participated in various projects at Stockholm and Uppsala universities since 1973, e.g. in the "Corpus Troporum" project and two projects on medieval model sermons. She has edited numerous medieval texts from Sweden and was researcher in the "Ars Edendi" programme at Stockholm University (2008-2015).
