The attribution to Bonaventure is considered spurious. Cf. GW. Goff also notes a spurious attribution to Hugh of Saint-Cher. Distelbrink attributes 114 of the 129 Sermones de tempore to Servasanctus de Faenza and notes the others are possibly by him, although a few resemble Bonaventure's work. The Sermones de sanctus he attributed to Servasanctus. Cf. B. Distelbrink. Bonaventurae scripta, 1975, p. 187 (no. 209), p. 184-185 (no. 205).
