Article poorly written and includes incorrect information
The majority of sentences begin with 'it', which is poor writing, and includes multiple citations from the same source. Also states that the codex was written in 1343 after the Hundred Years War, but the war hadn't yet begun in 1343!
Needs somebody knowledgeable to fix this up, otherwise I suggest it be deleted.

I have removed some very dubious claims from the article, a pity that this kind of nonsense gets put on the main page but the subject is notable so not ready for deletion. Further rewriting and removal of information may be necessary though (e.g. the line about the Reformation).

Thanks for fixing those errors! Neither I nor my student is very knowledgeable about medieval history, but we wanted to get the ball rolling for such a notable subject. If you have suggestions for other secondary sources about the Regimen Animarum I'm happy to add them.
