| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary The colophon of this manuscript names the author and title of the work, Eberhard of Béthune’s Graecismus, as well as the name of the scribe Johannis Czepilwicz and the date that the copy was completed, 9 August 1386 (p. 150). The Graecismus is a long grammatical poem (more than 4,000 verses) written ca. 1212, and its main sources are the grammarians of antiquity such as Donatus and Priscian. The Graecismus circulated widely. The author of this copy on parchment, Johannis Czepilwicz, seems to be the same as a canon of the Augustine house of S. Maria virginis in Arena in Breslau/Wrocław. Except for a large, decorated first initial, lightly damaged (p. 3), the decoration is limited to rubricated letters and a few initials whose form anticipates fifteenth-century letters with cadels. Given the presence of the stamp of the abbot Diethelm Blarer (p. 25), the manuscript was at the Abbey Library since 1553-1564 at the latest. The manuscript has a limp parchment binding with a spine reinforced in leather. |
