Amerbach, Bonifacius (1495-1562)
Open in Mirador
This manuscript contains a collection of writings on the Schism and belongs to the oldest collection of the Basel Charterhouse. The four codicological units were produced in the fourteenth and early fifteenth century, probably in part in the Low-German linguistic region. Three of the units likely passed through Winand Steinbeck of Dortmund, the first prior of the Basel Charterhouse. The fourth unit in the composite manuscript contains notes by Johannes Dotzheim, the second prior of the Basel Charterhouse. The codex was first bound in Basel and, in the sixteenth century, was used by Bonifacius Amerbach.

This Lucretius manuscript with the long didactic poem De rerum natura is, based on its content, a descendant of the manuscript which Poggio Braccolini discovered in a German monastery in 1417. This manuscript was written in 1468-69, a few years before the text appeared in print, by Antonius Septimuleius Campanus — according to a note at the end of the text — while he was in prison in Rome. At the latest by 1513, the manuscript was in the possession of the humanist Bonifacius Amerbach from Basel.

This compilation of various legal texts, also known as Breviarium Alarici, probably is from the Upper Rhine area; it is preceded by two excerpts from Isidore's Etymologiae, which also pertain to laws, and by two full-page family trees. At the end there is a Latin-Hebrew-Greek glossary. This is an exceptionally colorful manuscript that gives the impression of being antique; it has a splendid title page, and it served as model for Johannes Sichard's edition of the Breviarium Alarici (which he considered to be the Codex Theodosianus), published by Heinrich Petri in Basel in 1528. The volume came to Bern in 1632 from the holdings of Jacques Bongars.
