| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary The manuscript protected in a limp binding contains as many blank pages (pp. 167-326) as texts. Copied by several hands between the fourteenth and the fifteenth century, these texts are extremely varied. The codex begins with prayers to the Virgin and to Christ (pp. 2-26), followed by excerpts from the (pseudo-)Bernard of Clairvaux (pp. 27-36), a collection of fragments of patristic texts on the virtues of the mass (pp. 37-44), the Meditatio super missam by Iohannes de Brunswig (pp. 133-164), as well as a series of sermons attributed to Augustine, such as the Sermo ad Heremitas (pp. 44-60), De miseria mundi (pp. 60-65), De duodecim gradibus abusionum (pp. 119-122), etc. Inserted among these texts appears the De proprietatibus (or the Epistola Ameti), a rare translation from the Arabic of the Kitāb al-khawāss by Ahmad ibn Ibrâhîm ibn al-Jazzâr of Qayrawân († 1009). This work is a treatise on organic magic dealing with the properties of animals, plants, and minerals (pp. 97-106). |
