Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
A fifteenth-century wooden-board binding contains this manuscript composed of multiple parts. The original start of the miscellany, the part of the manuscript consisting of pp. 1–140, was probably removed in the ninenteenth century. Six codicological units remain, and, with the exception of Part IV, they all were copied in the fifteenth century. Part I (pp. 141348) has, on pp. 141198, Johannes de Fonte’s florilegium Auctoritates Aristotelis (Lohr, p. 260) and, on pp. 199346, Latin sermons, with the insertion of excerpts from the book of Proverbs (pp. 257263). Part II (pp. 349396) contains Latin texts on the Mass, confession, and penance, written in two columns on pp. 349a396, including Ambrosius Autpertus’ treatise De conflictu vitiorum on pp. 363a-383b (Bloomfield, Nr. 0455). Further Latin sermons appear in Part III (pp. 397440b). Part IV (pp. 441574) consists of an incomplete abbreviation in two columns of Guillelmus Peraldus’ Summa virtutum (Bloomfield, Nr. 5775; Verweij, p. 111–110), which was copied in the fourteenth century. Part V (pp. 575618) transmits Thomas Aquinas’ treatise Collationes de decem preceptis (Bloomfield, Nr. 6071), which is decorated with a rather large pen drawing of a bishop on p. 600b. Part VI (pp. 619638), a single gathering, is written in two columns and contains on pp. 619a630b a Latin interpretation of the Pater noster by Johannes Münzinger (Adam, p. 160), on pp. 631a634a Thomas Aquinas’ interpretation of the Ave Maria (Expositio angelice salutationis) (cf. Rossi), on pp. 634b637a an interpretation of the responsory Missus est Gabriel, and finally on pp. 637a638b a short text in another hand. Based on the stamp of Abbot Diethelm Blarer (p. 440b), the manuscript has been in the Abbey Library since 1553–1564 at the latest. (len)
