The front part of this parchment manuscript was written in the thirteenth century; the back part (from p. CLI) and the index at the front were written in the fifteenth century. In addition to authentic and pseudoepigraphical texts of Bernard of Clairvaux, the codex contains the Stimulus amoris. The older part is decorated with numerous, precisely painted initials with simple ornamentation. In the fifteenth century, the volume belonged to the Basel Charterhouse, when the ownership marks were partially written on top of older, erased entries. (stu)

This 15th century composite manuscript was produced in Italy and contains humanist occasional poems and short treatises. The various parts, written in humanist minuscule and humanist cursive, are written by different scribes. This volume belonged to the Basel book printer Johann Oporin († 1568); after his death it remained in the possession of scholars in Basel, until it was given to the library in the 17th/18th century.
