Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This moral-theological volume contains a preface (pp. 1-4) including an alphabetical table of contents (p. 2a-4d). The main body is an alphabetically ordered confessionary with articles about each lemma from Acadia to Yroina [sic]; each starts with a red lombard and lengths vary from a few lines to numerous pages (pp. 4-265). There is then an alphabetical index (pp. 266-268b). The scribe, brother Rudeger de Casle, writes in a compact, early gothic book cursive, 40 lines per page, with red lombards. In the colophon (p. 268b), he states that the work was completed 14 December 1351. A previous owner was Ulricus Horchentaler in 1450 (268b). Between p. 16 and 17 a half-page sheet has been sewn into the flange of the front pastedown using green thread; there is an extract of a commentary on Aristotle's De anima (III, cap. 2, 427b1-428a1) written on the recto side and a branching depiction of the powers of the soul on the verso side. There are marginalia. The limp binding consists of a green (or blue) leather cover that is reinforced with at least two leaves of parchment pasted together. The front and back pastedowns are reused fragments from an at least two-column index. (kun)
