Manuscript Summary
The first quire transmits various texts written non-uniformly (pp. 5-20). After a short, one-column text De excommunicatione (p. 22) is Jean Gerson’s De audienda confessione (pp. 23a70a). There then follow two works ascribed to Augustine in the Middle Ages, namely De spiritu et anima (cap. I-XXXIII on pp. 70a92b) and Speculum (pp. 92b109b); Bernard of Clairvaux’s De gratia et libero arbitrio (pp. 110a138a); Bonaventura’s De compositione hominis exterioris under the title Speculum monachorum (pp. 139a154a) and Lucius Annaeus Seneca’s De quattuor virtutibus cardinalibus (pp. 154a166b). Pages 23a-109b are written in a two-column textualis with red headings and blue and red alternating pen-flourished initials as well as pieds-de-mouche. On pp. 110a-166b only red ink was used for such highlights. Between pp. 6 and 7 a slip of paper with writing is pasted in. On the lower margin distinctiones are often added (pp. 3034, 7276, 8285, 111, 113, 121). Within the ruling lines of column 138a is a number-matrix. In column 138b there is a pen trial (ANNO with flourishes). There is a fair amount of marginalia. The pasteboard binding from the 17th or 18th century has a white leather cover with doubled scudding decoration as well as two green laces. The table of contents was added by Pius Kolb (p. 1). (kun)
