Il testo “Miracoli della Madonna” presenta una serie di racconti che illustrano come la devozione alla Vergine Maria possa liberare i fedeli da tentazioni, pericoli e malattie. In una serie di episodi, tra cui una donna tormentata da apparizioni demoniache e un eremita assediato da tentazioni carnali, la narrazione evidenzia come l’invocazione della Madonna porti a una liberazione immediata e definitiva.

Nell’ultima si contiene l’uffizio della Beata Vergine coi principali vespri dell’anno, e coll’aggiunta di alcune canzoncine spirituali.
