INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Catalogue is the result of the conviction that the possession of manuscripts of even a moderate antiquity carries with it the responsibility of publishing some account of them for the use of scholars. It has also been our belief that a descriptive catalogue will make the manuscripts now in the University’s possession more useful to the departments to which they relate, and that the only way to build up a notable collection of manuscripts in the University is to make the most of what we have.

Not all indeed that the University now possesses in the way of manu- scripts is here included. The Greek papyri in Haskell Oriental Museum we have been obliged to reserve for separate treatment, although the inclusion of those texts from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, some of them unpub- lished, would have enriched this volume. The East Indian and other valuable oriental manuscripts belonging to Haskell Museum we have left untouched. Since the completion of our work upon this Catalogue, too, new collections including valuable autograph letters have been given to the University by Mr. Edward B. Butler, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, Mrs. Erskine M. Phelps, and Mrs. Emma B. Hodge. Such collections of letters and docu- ments evidently call for a special catalogue. Further, the mass of manu- script fragments from bindings or still in bindings present a large field for the manuscript cataloguer. We have made a beginning with these, but such pieces are seldom of value, and while a few of the more significant ones are described in the present volume, we have not as yet felt justified in asking the University’s permission to destroy dozens of fine old bindings of unquestioned interest in the history of book-making, in the effort to detach parchment fragments of doubtful value. Finally, it is more than probable that as the cataloguing of the University’s printed books goes on, some manuscripts long since in its possession will come to hand; but while we covet these for our Catalogue, and have made such search for them as we could, it has seemed wiser to proceed with those we have than to wait for an end which will never come, since the University will never cease to acquire manuscripts.

Of the manuscripts treated in this Catalogue, few have been secured through special purchase. Nearly all have come to the University with large collections of printed books. The libraries of Hengstenberg, acquired in 1869-70, George B. Ide (1873-74), the American Bible Union (1885-86), and the Old University of Chicago (1891) brought some manuscripts with them. But the great majority of our manuscripts we owe to the purchase in 1891 of the Berlin Collection. A concise list of these followed the Berlin Collection to Chicago, and while not all the manuscripts there reported have

come into our hands, we have found some others not listed there but very probably from the same source, and the eight missing ones may yet be found as the cataloguing of the great collection approaches completion. The Ovid manuscript (no. 99) came to our attention when this Catalogue was already in type, and is therefore treated in an Appendix.

The manuscripts which formed part of the Berlin Collection at the time of its acquisition by the University had been gathered from various sources, most of which it is no longer possible to identify. In the case of a few codices, however, a definite statement of origin and early history can be made. The Glycas, Georgius Hamartolus, and De Rancé manuscripts dis- play the arms of Pius VI, in whose time and probably for whose library three of them were written. Nos. 14 and 99 have on their covers somewhat similar arms, perhaps those of Cardinal Braschi before he became Pius VI. Of these six manuscripts, three (nos. 14, 65, 99) with five others (nos. 1, 5, 11, 51, 52) have a rectangular label, numbered in roman. Perhaps this early label was that of Pius VI’s collection. Over it in some cases has been pasted the oval label which appears on nos. 2, 6, 12, 14, 17, 18, 39, 47, 54, 63, 65, and 99. It is at least clear that all the manuscripts bearing these labels have come with the Berlin Purchase, whether included in its list or not, and the labels give us some hint of the probable process of accretion by which the principal element in that collection of manuscripts developed. It is not indeed impossible that the nineteen manuscripts of the three groups formed part of that private papal collection of which Cardinal Braschi’s two manu- scripts were the nucleus. At all events they became combined with a group of his manuscripts and were catalogued together before they came into the possession of the Calvary Brothers in Berlin. Other similar manuscript relationships, in so far as we have observed them, we have indicated by cross-references in the descriptions that follow. Thus the Lucan and the Boccaccio (nos. 33, 57) are bound and lettered alike; the Albertus, the Aristotele, and the Leo (nos. 2, 5, 30) are lettered alike on the back; the Diodorus and the Ovid (nos. 14, 99), are bound and lettered alike, etc.

Every manuscript is a human document and presents an individual history. The manuscript of Gerard’s Distinctiones (no. 22) states that it was copied from his original at Siena by an Augustinian named Martucius, who began the task in 1466, when he was Magister Studentium, ‘at a time of great persecution and trial,’ and completed it on September 7, 1468, “at a time of great tranquillity and peace.” Other subscriptions report its subsequent fortunes. It remained at the Convent of Prato until a visitor from Naples took possession of it and carried it off to Naples. Brother Augustinus of Prato happened to visit Naples some time after, and to him the Neopolitan, ‘‘conscientia forte motus,” returned the manuscript. On June 19, 1520, Augustinus recorded these facts in the recovered manuscript, and expressed the pious intention of examining the whole of it, and at his death bequeathing it to his convent at Prato. But a further subscription,

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LIBRARIES vii

dated October 24, 1522, shows that two years later the manuscript passed into the hands of Brother Herennius, who had given Augustinus in exchange for it the Epistles of Paul, and writings of Thomas of Argentina and Gregory of Ariminum, well-known Augustinian authorities. Beyond this point the movements of the manuscript are obscure, but this sketch of its fortunes for half a century gives curious glimpses of contemporary life. Other manuscripts are not less quaintly interesting, and will invite closer study, textual or historical, from the departments to which they relate.

This Catalogue is published in connection with the dedication of the Harper Memorial Library, June 11, 1912. Our thanks are due to Karl Pietsch, James Westfall Thompson, Charles Henry Beeson, Chester Nathan Gould, and Tiemen de Vries, members of the University faculties, for many helpful suggestions on various manuscripts, upon which we sought their expert opinions. To the President of the University, the Director of the Libraries, and the Director of the Press, we are especially indebted for the interest they have shown in the publication of the Catalogue at this time, when, with the opening of the Harper Memorial Library, the University’s manuscripts are at last transferred to secure and permanent quarters in the Manuscript Room.

margins.. F. 221 is blank except for the words satis conscendendi and a cross covering the recto; the text continues with satis conscendendi on the following. After this point various scribes have numbered 3 to 10 leaves of their own quires.

2. ALBERTUS Maenus, De Homine.

Paper, ff. 339, cm. 2921.5, single columns, 32-37 lines. 29 quires, of 12, except the 1st, a prefatory quire unnumbered (3).

At the top of f. 1, a note in another hand reads: Istud vult esse infra 6. 51 ubi tale signum. A drawing of a face follows. On f. 87a, the same face appears, with this note: hic deficit quod est scriptum supra in principio libri per unam cartam cum dimidia. Spaces have been left for large initials, but these have not been supplied.

Within the first cover, a modern hand has written Albertus Magnus; and inside the last a price mark in lire is penciled.

The voluminous works of Albertus Magnus (1193-1280), the Doctor Universalis of the Schoolmen, were first published by Peter Jammy, at Lyons, in 1651.

Compilatio super tractatu de spera edita a fratre roberto anglico ordinis praedicatorum qui super totam loycam (=logicam) scripsit qui fuit magister in theologia postea archiepiscopus cartusiens(is?) et demum cardinalis (cf. the Explic. f. 180 -- 666), ff. 7-18 (45-56). Prob- ably Robert Grosseteste (Capito). Incip.: Una scientia est nobilior alia.—Ezplic.: idem satis declaratus etc. Deo gratias Amen.

4. A collection of notabilia dicta averroys, ff. 19-64 (57-128). A. From his commentary super primo de anima, ff. 19-28 (57-66). Incip.: [A]rtes. Incomplete, Explic.: Actiuum et passiuum viden- tur(?) esse quodammodo opposita. Commento 33.—In the lower right-hand corner the beginning of the next quire is written: Innuit, etc. But the next quire begins dicta.

B. From his commentary super 2° metaphisiae ff. 29-52 (77-100). Incip.: Commentum primum. [Quia] ista scientia perscrutatur. The colophon at the end of this section, f. 81b, col. 1, makes these dicta come from Averrhoes super primum et 2™, li. metha®°, quos in commen- tando intermiscuit. There follow in order the comments on Lib. 3-7.— Explic.: substantiales generales et . . . . commento 9°.

C. Super libro coligeth ff. 58-64 (122-128). Incip.: [E]t dicimus quod ars medicinae.—Explic.: ramificate sicut arterie co. ca’.

There are three different hands, one in the Tractatus proportionum and Latitudines formarum, another in the Compilatio, the third in the Dicta of Averrhoes. These were probably written as separate manu- scripts; the watermarks, too, differ. Moreover on the verso of f. 6 (43) at the top is written: Iste carte omnes sunt numero 60. But a folio numbering inserted before the loss of the quire from the Averrhoes material, in the same hand throughout binds this heterogeneous ma- terial together into one volume. It runs from 38-43, 45-66, 77-104, 121-128. Probably between 104 and 121 another quire of similar ma- terial (Averrhoes) has been lost. Another hand has numbered ff. 3-6 in the lower right-hand corner of the verso (f. 3) or recto (4-6) from 96-99. Marginal notes are inserted sometimes by the writer, sometimes (in the Compilatio) by another hand. Ff. numbered 101-104, 121 and two ff. after 128 are left entirely blank. On the verso of the next to the last and the recto of the last ff. a later hand than any in the manuscript has written a number of Latin verses on various subj- ects. Space has been left for large initials, but few of these have been inserted.

In the formulas the name of Baldus occurs most frequently; et ita dico ego Baldus; but other names appear; Petrus de Perusio, f. 13b; Honofrius de Perusio, legum doctor, f. 13); Angelus de Perusio (i.e., de Ubaldis? flor. 1423) legum doctor, f. 14a; Angelus de Merianis decretorum doctor, f. 33a; Tacobus de Belviso (i.e., Belloviso? flor. 1270) f. 430; Franciscus de Altergotis, f. 370, and again in the form Franciscus de Altergoctis de Arecio (Francesco Accolti, 1418-83), ff. 55b, 84a, 93a; Franciscus de Ramporibus, f. 109a; Iohannes de Lignano, (flor. 1380) ib., and f. 117a; Antonius de Praesebris, f. 109a; Iohannes de Casali, ib.; Paganinus de Sala, ff. 123a, 144a; Bartholus de Saxoferrato (11855), ff. 81a, 93), 118α; cf. f. 108a; Angelus de Castillono, f. 144a; Iacobus Bructicarius (i.e., de Bugtrigariis? flor. 1320) f. 1376; and some others.

Ducat(i) Decem et Iul(hatum ?) Unum.

Of the last two lines, the first is in the elaborate hand of the manu- script, the second in ordinary cursive. This last is perhaps the copyist’s fee. The great leaden seal (bulla) of Benedict XIV is attached to the book by a silken cord of red and yellow, the Papal colors, marking the document as “in forma gratiosa.”’ Cardinal Passioneo was at this time Librarian of the Holy See. Benedict became pope in 1740. The hand is of the most exaggerated type, and great florid pen and ink capitals stand at the head of every page. Similar signatures appear in Bullarium Romanum, Acta Benedicti XIV, vols. I and 11.

The parchment reinforcement in the folds of the later quires is from a Latin Psalter, beautifully written in two very narrow columns.

Some names are given in headings and colophons written in capitals by the first hand. On f. 1200, at the close of the section of text: Hic tractatus codicillorum co<m)pilat(us) est per D. Meum Benedictum de Parmis de Perusio Utriusque Monarcham (Benedetto Capra, ca. 1400 3). —At the head of f. 122a: De Legatis Et Fidey Conmissis Primo.—At the head of f. 126a: Rubrica de Fidey Conmissis et 1 c. 1°.—At the end of the section of text, f. 179a: Hic Est Finis Hujus Legis. Nemo Potest. De Legatis Primo Repetite Per D. Meum A(n)gelum De Arecio Famosissimum Legum Doctorem (Angelo Gambiglioni, [1461 ἢ). —At the head of f. 188a: Rub(ri)ca.—In the upper right-hand corner of this, and many later rectos, is minutely written: Ad Trebellia, usually much abbreviated.—Another hand has written at the head of f. 99a: Hic incipiunt collecte ἃ. benedicti de perusio. In a smaller hand, at the head of f. 109a, dominus Alafrancus de ariano repetii.... . This must be Chevalier’s Lanfranc d’Oriano, 1472, and this note of his fixes the general period of the manuscript. In another hand, opposite the title De Legatis, etc., f. 122a: Angelide Aretio. There are occasional marginal notes in early hands.

. BERNARDUS CLAREVALENIS, De Consideratione.

Paper, ff. 42, cm. 21.315, single columns, 36-40 lines. 5 quires, of 8 except the 5th (10). Quire signatures have been for the most part trimmed away in rebinding. No rulings. Century XV.

11.

Paper, ff. ii+37, cm. 3022.5, double columns, 46-48 lines, 3 quires, the 1st of 14, 2d of 8, 84 of 22. Margin rulings on both sides. . Ff. 16 and 20 are blank. Berlin Purchase no. 25. Century XV.

Label: wanting. The manuscript has lost its cover.

Contents: Title (in a late hand) Blasius de Parma. Incip.: f. 1a: Cirea principium libri methaurorum Queritur primo Utrum mundus generabilium et corporabilium gubernetur a celo—Hxplic., f. 870: Et sit finis omnium questionum circa librum methaurorum et omnium aliorum librorum methaurorum Aristotelis cum laude et gloria christi qui vivit et regnat in secula seculorum amen amen amen.

Expliciunt questiones super libro methaurorum aristotelis quas compilavit Magister Blasius de parma complete et scripte per Magistrum Iohannem de medicis de yt°.:

Ff. 1a—5b, questiones 1-4, super libro primo.

Ff. 6a-17a, questiones 16-8, super libro secundo.

Ff. 17a-31a, questiones 1-9, super libro tertio.

Ff. 31a-37b, questiones 1-7, super libro quarto.

There is a gap, covering perhaps 2 ff., in the middle of the first quire, between ff. 5b and 6a. The scribe began the text on f. iia, but stopped after 23 lines, and began afresh on f. la. In the outer upper corner of f. iia stands a note in four short lines. On f. ia a late hand has written, Vidit Celius Riccardus.

This discussion of the Meteorologica of Aristotle is anti-Aristotelian in tone, and probably represents the Platonist reaction fostered by the Medici.

CaLpERINvus, Commentaria in Martialem.

Parchment, ff. 182, em. 32.624.5. Single columns, 30 lines. 13 gatherings of 10, except the 3d (4) which has lost 3, and the 12th (8) which has lost its fifth pair. The 2d and 3d were wrongly bound, the leaves running 21, 20, 11-19, 22-24; they have now (1910) been cor- rectly rearranged. The loss in quire 12 is noted in no very late hand in the margin, f. 119: deficiunt duo paginae. Some gatherings are lost before f. 1 and probably 3 quires between ff. 10 and 11. From f. 25 the manuscript is continuous to f. 90, most of which leaf has been cut out; thence again through f. 118, after which 2 leaves are wanting; and thence again to the end, from which other quires may have been lost. The manuscript is properly made, flesh sides facing flesh sides. Rulings on the hair side. Berlin Purchase no. 18. Probably century XV.

grammato XLI libri III ad epigramma XXX libri XTII. (So ἃ modern hand on inside of cover.) More exactly, the manuscript covers in whole or in part Epigrams 3:34, 40 (41)—4:3; 5:78-6:45; 7:4-12; 7:26-35; 7:53—(11:9-17 mutilated) 12:78; 13:1-31; 14:127-207 in the order given below. The missing portions are 1:1-3:33; 1:35-39; 4:45:77; 6:46—7:3; 7:138-52; 12:79-98; 13:32-127; 14:1-126; 14:208-223. Incip.: ut nix, sed non esse chionem quia nigra est et non candida, f. la.—Explic.: De grege vestino. id est ex ovibus vestinis, f. 1320.

In more detail: ff. 1-10 deal with 3:34, 40 (41)—4:3; ff. 11-20, with 5:78—6:45; f. 21 with 7:4-12; ff. 22, 23 with 7:26-35; f. 24 with 7:53-58. From this point the Commentary continues without interruption to f. 90 (11:9-17), most of which has been cut out; thence again without interruption through f. 118 (12:78). While only 2 leaves seem to be lost at this point, there is a much larger gap in the Commentary, 12:79-98, and the exemplar may have been defective or disordered here, for ff. 119a-127b supply 14:127-207, which is followed on ff. 128a-132b by 18:1-31. The hand and finish suggest an Italian origin.

The quoted words from the Epigrams are in red. There are now 733 large marginal initials, illuminated in colors and gold leaf. A few have been cut out of the manuscript. The parchment is of good quality. The wrong initials have in many cases been supplied by the illuminator, and the order of epigrams is not always the same as that, e.g., of W. M. Lindsay’s edition (Oxford, 1902) which we have followed in the number- ing of the epigrams above. The second printed edition of Martial (Rome 1473, fol.) was accompanied by the Commentary of D. Calderini who in 1475 produced a commentary on Juvenal (cf. Friedlander, D. Iunii Iuvenalis Saturarum Libri V, 1895, p. 96).

The interior of the manuscript has been much injured by damp and pressure. There are many notes in the margins, especially copious for the last work, which have been partially trimmed away in a former rebinding. ‘Two fragments of an annotated legal(?) work in Latin have been used in the binding, and Professor Beeson has recognized their script as that of Monte Cassino.

Baronius (1538-1607) undertook his Annales Ecclesiastici at the order of his superior Philip Neri, and published them in twelve volumes, 1588-1607. His attitude on the Spanish pretensions to the possession of Sicily offended Spain, and Spanish opposition prevented his election as Pope, 1607.

One, in red like the titles and superscriptions, after the conclusion of Lib. 7 on f. 1340 reads: Deesse videtur multum in septimo libro, sed ita habetur in greco exemplari. On the inside of the first cover, a hand different from those of the manuscript has written traversavi.

Ff. 112a-115d, a table of contents, now incomplete, showing what chapters of the gospels are used in each section.

ignoranter composui credems ac firmiter tenens que mater ecclesia per omnia tenet: (in red) Explicit argumentum Incipit liber feliciter: f. 1160.

In the Harmony, the materials of the four Gospels are minutely interwoven. The desire to omit as little as possible has led to much repetition, but the work has been painstakingly and apparently inde- pendently done. The source of each portion of text is indicated by the initial of the evangelist (Μ m L J) and the chapter number, in red above the first word of the quotation. The use of the present chapter numbers, devised by Stephen Langton at the end of the thirteenth century, shows that not only the manuscript but very probably the harmony itself originated after the thirteenth century. Indeed it is probable that the Harmony is not much if at all older than this copy of it. The water marks, abbreviations, and style of writing point to a date for the manuscript in the fifteenth century (ca. 1450). The margins have been much reduced in trimming, the red section titles having been partly trimmed away.

The guards and fly-leaves contain a number of notes in early hands. On the first fly-leaf

jadi 17 marzo 1550 io do zuav (... ) ] {maria di nargarado]] ] ego iohanes + Caminus(?)

On the last fly-leaf, recto, este liber est mei—Verso, Adi 17 marzo 1550 io do...... ...( )o.—Within, on the last cover, ] hec sine numine domini(?) eveniunt (the last word in a more formal hand).— Below, badly blotted, ] este liber est mei domini..... ..... At the end of the text, f. 1110, a later hand has written, Carissimo aman- t(issim)o m(esser) barba Sariti contento di mandarmi.

The folio numbering (old) omits a blank leaf after no. 7, now the second leaf in quire 2, which was probably originally meant to fold the other way, to serve as cover and at the same time as f. 1 of quire 1, making this, as well as quires 3-5 a quaternion. The mistake is the binder’s. The folio numbering must of course have been written before the binding was done. Scholia and corrections by a hand not much later than the writer’s appear throughout, in the margin.

This first part alone, De Compilatione errorum, in 14 chapters was inscribed in the manuscript. This Augustinian Aegidius was perhaps the Augustinian Aegidius Columna or de Roma, archbishop of Bourges ({December 22, 1316).

Dobschiitz, Christusbilder, p. 308**, where a list of manuscripts of this letter is given.) Below, in a coarser hand, the ink much faded, this note is written:

Ff. 1566-1600 are blank except that a price-mark in lire is penciled at the top of f. 1596, and a very fine hand has written at the top of f. 157a three lines; Incitp.: Queritur utrum Theologia sit practica vel speculativa et arguitur primo quod sit practica.—Explic.: vacat quia scripsi illam in alio quinterno.

Three fly-leaves at the beginning of the codex, of smaller size and whiter paper, are blank and are not included in our reckoning of leaves. At the head of f. 153a Ih(es)us is written in a fine hand. Gerard of Siena flourished in 1330 (tca. 1336).

R.P.P.—A clipping from a (Berlin?) printed catalogue, with a description of the manuscript, is attached to the front paper.

The manuscript is said to have come from Chalons-sur-Marne (Berlin list) and this may be correct, as the occasional use of w for v points to northeastern France—Picardy, Artois, Champagne.

The Idisore meant is of course Isidore of Seville, born ca. 560, died 636. Toletani Episcopi is a mistake, possibly due to the fact that he presided over several synods held at Toledo, or to the treatment of his life and writings in the Viri Illustres of his pupil Ildefonso of Toledo, or to the fact that copious use of Isidore’s booklet was made in a book of the same title, Contra Iudaeos, written by Julian of Toledo. On Isidore’s life and writings, cf. R. Schmid, Isidor von Sevilla, in P.R.E.?, and Kaulen, art. ‘“Isidor,” in the Kirchenlexikon. The best edition of Isidore’s complete works is that of Faustinus Arevalus, Rome, 1797- 1803, reprinted in Migne, S.L. 81-83, where the Contra Iudaeos is treated in the “Isidoriana,” II, LXVI, vol. 81, coll. 429-433, and the text printed in vol. 83, coll. 449-538. The text of the present manuscript is not of the best. The error Toletanus for Hispalensis (or Spalensis) is found in a number of manuscripts of Contra Iudaeos (cf. Arevalus, in Migne, 8.L. 81, col. 433, and 83, col. 450, note), e.g., in Arevalus’ Cod. MS. Florentin. I.

On the rectos a modern hand has penciled page numbers, 1, 3, 5, etc., to 199. 77 and 79 are omitted. A fly-leaf of thicker parchment, preceding the first quire, bears the name of a former owner, Weglewski

quire 14 has lost its last leaf, that which followed f. 188. Edges gilt. Binding shows remains of four brass clasps. At lower right hand of rectos an old leaf-numbering appears, 60-65, on ff. 31-36, also 92 on f. 73. At upper right-hand corner of rectos is a later leaf-numbering, made before the first leaf was lost, and meant to be continuous, but in fact inaccurate and misleading. The first hand, round and open, gives way with the turn of f. 118 to (f. 118) a much more compact and angular hand, which completes the manuscript. Rulings on the flesh side. Berlin Purchase no. 19. Probably century XV.

Label: Sermones S. Lleo[nlis Mafgni. (In style like nos. 2 and 5.)

Contents: Sermones divi Leonis papae (in an old hand at head of f. 1a). The only gaps are where the first or last leaves of quires are wanting, one before f. 1, one after f. 19, and one after f. 133. Incip.: dei nostri clementiam supplices obsecrare.—Ezplic.: non possunt quid humanitati ascribere quid.

The first sermon of this collection, De Natali ipsius 8. Leonis 1, evidently corresponded to sermons 1 and 2 in Migne’s edition, and occupied the first leaf, now wanting. The present f. la preserves the closing eight lines of this sermon—dei nostri clementiam supplices— Per christum dominum nostrum. The 93 sermons are in general those that appear in the Migne edition and stand with few exceptions in the order of that edition; thus Migne’s 64 and 66 stand between his 62 and 63. Sermons numbered 5, 11, and 20 in Migne were not included in this collection. The loss of one leaf between ff. 19 and 20 has removed part of Sermon 18 (Migne’s 22), ch. 4, 5a, omnipotensque [Salvator

. commoda] utentibus. Sermon 93 (Migne’s 96) breaks off with: humanitati ascribere quid[ , the last leaf of the manuscript being wanting. The rest of Sermon 93, ch. 2 fin. and 3, would fill but half a page, and leave room for another short sermon, but the collection probably closed with 93. There are a few marginal notes referring to Cicero, Seneca, Jerome, etc. Ih(es)us is written at the head of the verso of the first fly-leaf. Each sermon begins with an illuminated capital.

At the top of the recto of the last fly-leaf is a note: Qui studium agri- colandi dederit: antiquissima sciat haec sibi advocanda [ ] facultatem impendendi: voluntatem agendi: nam is demum cultissimum rus. [ ] Tremellius: qui et colere sciet: et poterit: et volet:

The usual quire signatures. Ff. i-vii, 98a-105b blank. F. viiia scribbled over with a hard point. Berlin Purchase no. 39. Probably century XV.

Label: ...... ] Segreti Antichi.

Contents: Receptarium De Medicinis, ff. 6a—163a. The margins of this text and the originally blank leaves before and after it, ff. 1-5, 1636-195b, have been written over in numerous cursive hands with recipes, remedies, and prescriptions of all sorts, for the most part in Italian. Recipes are given for ink, soap, white sugar, hair-restorers and dyes, cosmetics, colors, etc., and remedies for dog-bite and a host of complaints. Incip.: Sequitur receptarium De medicinis communiter usitatis per medicos, tam phisicos quam cirurgicos, que communiter reperiuntur penes aromatarios, preparatae, et hoc secundum mesue, nicolaum, galienum, rasim, avicennam, et aliorum auctorum Dicta Et prime De electuariis secundum antidotarium Domini mesue, f. 6a.— Explic.: et subito recepit tantum sudorem ut venenum totum exalet evacuationi universali prius facta. Finis. Εἰ. 163q.

Added material, Incip., f. la: Recipe Corti ligni guainei—z 4.— Explic.: chi sia como ung(?). There are some hundreds of these mis- cellaneous prescriptions, in a great variety of hands, written prob- ably by successive owners or at least users of the book. A bit of Hebrew appears on f. 176b. A list of 49 famous medical authorities from Hip- pocrates to Platina occupies f. 5a. At the head of f. 170a In Napoli is written. Ff. 1685-1696 are occupied with a series of Latin paragraphs entitled, Quid est medicina que medetur egris. Among the miscella- neous marginal titles are Da far’ gelo, f. 8b; Per far’ una Copeta come se fa In ferrara cosa eletta, f. 12b; A fare azurro oltra marino, f. 21a; Per far’ nascier’ li pili dove non nascie, f. 24a; per le cubebe la cassia, f. 30a; ad seccar’ porri delle mani, f. 330; Per far’ pasta da marzapani fina et bona, f. 48b; A dolor de podagre, f. 58a; Uno oglio de semo de Cino, f. 62a; per la memoria bona, f. 146b.

‘LXXXII 1482 Omnia in calce operis——Soluto Matrimonio, in a small

hand, stands near the leaf-number on most of the rectos of the manu- script.

Rubrica de liberis et postumis, ff. 142a-152b, concludes the volume.

At the foot of the last verso, another hand has written: Die 6 mensis Julii 15e Ind. 1482 sub augusta regis ferdinandi pace dominus antonius de raho in auditorio sancti laurentii hic punctavit qui habuit concurren- tem dominum petrum de fundis qui paucis diebus legit et postea ob paucitatem studencium demisit et [[am{|amplius non legit—This may be Pietro di Fondi, poet at Naples in the fifteenth century.

The wide margins accommodate numerous notes in various hands. The book was probably the lecture book of de Raho, or possibly a stu- dent’s copy of his lectures. On f. 1000, in the lower margin a hand of the same period as the rest of the volume has indited a scurrilous poem of 8 lines after the style of Martial: “Ad antonium de raho amicum optimum.”

A printed pamphlet dealing with the de Raho family has been bound into the back of the manuscript: Subsidiariae Velitationes adversus Molossos mordentes lapidem. Auctore D. Olao Chardero. Neapoli, MDCXCVI.—Pp. 28. Mention of Antonio de Raho on p. 18.

These include among other documents:

a) Consultum Gulielmi de pernuo Siculi, ff. 39a-40a. On f. 40a he appears as Gulielmus de pernuo doctor Siculus. In this consultum, Andreas de yser(nia) (1353) is quoted, f. 40a, 1. 8.

8. (In a later hand) Legal forms: Forma Mandati ad Informandum, etc., ff. 67a-68a. The date given in the first of these, 4 Januarii 1575, suggests the general period of this hand. References to a parallel text —carte 213-237, 250—run through ff. 1-37, apparently in the hand of ff. 39-66. The Capitula Regni referred to in the first title (f. la) are perhaps meant. In the margin of f. 455, Ista capitula regni non sunt in capitulis impressis in libro meo. There are markings in a late hand on the cover: Illustrissimo S(ignor?) mio cesarone. The Sebastianus Neapolitanus to whom this collection is ascribed, f. la, may be the jurisconsult of the name of the fourteenth century (11362), but is more probably he of the fifteenth century (flor. 1482).

The text lacks the interpolations found in some manuscripts of these works and seems to be good. The De Quatuor Virtutibus is in a different hand from the rest of the manuscript; the hand changing to a rounder and more open style with the turning of f. 7. Large mar-

Michael Glycas is well known as a Byzantine historian of the better class. His reputed letters (i-xxix) are printed in Migne, Patrologia, Ser. Graec., Vol. 158, coll. 647-958. The two Glycas manuscripts, nos. 48 and 49, include the bulk of those in Migne, but preserve a much fuller collection of 93 letters (56 in this volume and 37 in Vol. II). These letters contain much unpublished material, and many quotations especially from ancient and mediaeval ecclesiastical literature. Variants are given in the margin. The recto of the last fly-leaf shows a penciled pricemark in lire. Watermark: On one-half of the leaf a fleur-de-lis (?) in a circle; in the other: Pietro Milano Fabriano.

(II Tim. 3:1-9) lacks a caption in the manuscript and is not found in the material printed by Gregory, op. cit., pp. 343-386. A modern hand has penciled in the margins Syriac notes, apparently indicative of the days for which the lessons are intended. Below the text, on f. 6b a more recent hand has written

κρα( ἢ)

Below, in pencil, φύλλα [eval] διακόσα εβδομήτα διό 272 (that is, φύλλα διακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα δύο 272). The number of leaves in the present codex, including the gospels, 273, is probably meant. At the head of f. 2b, an early hand has written ὧδε ησὴν of ἀπώστωλί(οι) τὸν ὡρὸν τη ay(ia) Kat μεγά(λῃ) παρ(ασ)κευοί: (ΞΞ- ὧδε εἰσὶν of ἀπόστολοι τῶν ὡρῶν τῇ ἁγίᾳ καὶ μεγάλῃ παρασκευῇ). The manuscript was purchased for the University, with the Haskell Gospels (no. 46), by Professor E. D. Burton and Professor C. R. Gregory, September 12, 1895, from Constantine Mitchell, executor of Pericles Morades, who had brought it to Chicago from some part of Greece, probably the island of Thera.

are left uncounted, as is the case also with the first 5 leaves of quire 20, which are canceled. On the recto of the first leaf of quire 28 begins a page numbering (α΄, 2-12, ιγ'-μ΄, 41-132) running to the last verso of quire 33. There follows: leaf numbering (133-162), f. 1, quire 34 to ἢ. 9, quire 37, 2 blank leaves, 1 each at the end of quires 36 and 37 being again left unnumbered; page numbering (212-244), f. la, quire 38—f. δα, quire 39; page numbering (235-341), f. 5b, quire 39—f. 118, quire 43; leaf numbering (142-211), f. 1, quire 44—f. 2, quire 50, the last two leaves, quire 50, blank, unnumbered. The book number- ing, too, is irregular. The historical books, 24—29 are correctly numbered, no. 25 bearing the legend: Tod αὐτοῦ Ῥωμαϊκῆς ἱστορίας Adyos ιδ. ἤγουν κε. τῆς ὅλης αὐτοῦ Ῥωμαϊκῆς ἱστορίας. Of the 6 dog- matical books following, the first is left without any number; over no. 2, a portion of the superscription, reading, ῥωμαικῆς μὲν ἱστορίας λα΄, has been canceled; 3-5 show no peculiarity; no. 6 is numbered 36 of the History, whereas by actual count it is 35. This is followed by two historical books, numbered 37 and 38 respectively.

The manuscript was probably copied from several (at least 3) diff- erent manuscripts, and collated with one or two others. The margin of f. la contains the note: Ex MS. Codice Vaticano num. 1095, pag. 95, and an occasional marginal note (e.g., ff. 60a, 616, 73b, 78b) gives the pagination of that manuscript from 111-117. In the canceled por- tion of quire 20 begins a new marginal pagination in the hand of the scribe who wrote that portion, which runs, following the hand of this scribe, from 1-33 in quires 20-27 and from 63-70 in quires 35-37, giving presumably the folio numbering of the original from which this portion was copied. In quire 38 a third marginal notation sets in, beginning, on page numbered 217, with 113 and running through quire 43 to 144 on page 341. Aside from this, a hand differing from that of the scribe or scribes has supplied quires 24-33 with a marginal notation running from 156 to 205. These are the folia of Vat. 1095, and their insertion shows that this portion of our manuscript was collated with that codex. At least 6 different hands are found in the body of the manuscript, the first in quires 1-7 through f. 40a; quires 11-19, f. 59-146a; quires 44-50, f. 142-211; the second in quire 7, f. 40b-410; quires 20-27, from the 5 canceled folia left unnumbered at the beginning of quire 20—f. 230a; quires 35-37, f. 135-162a; the third in quires 8-10, ff. 42 through 576; the fourth in quire 10, f. 58; the fifth in quires 28-34, pp. a’, 2-12, ἐιγ΄-μ΄, 41-132, f. 133, 134; the sixth in quires 38-43, pp. 212-341. Several other hands have been at work upon the manuscript, supplying, in marginal notes running intermittently throughout the manuscript, con- jectural emendations, the location of quotations,! the proper place for

10f especial interest is a note on f. 1020, quire 16, where in reference to a quotation from Athanasius the scribe copied what was evidently a marginal

section-indentions, either as the reader found them in another manu- script with which he was collating, or, more probably, as he thought they ought to be, etc. The whole manuscript shows signs of hurried preparation. The work of the various scribes occasionally overlaps at the end and beginning of quires, and one of the duplicate copies is then canceled (quire 8, ff. 42a-43b; quire 10, f. 58; the first five ff. of quire 20). The edges of some of the quires are roughly trimmed, some are left altogether untrimmed. The binding, pigskin over pasteboard, is loosely put on. The place of clasps is taken by cords of hemp or flax.

The watermarks, especially those of the fly-leaves, which bear the name Fabriano, refer the paper of the manuscript to Italy as its place of origin. There is a penciled pricemark in lire on the inside of the rear cover.

The manuscript was probably prepared for use in Boivinus’ edition of Nicephorus Gregoras’ Byzantine History. Boivinus was the first to publish (Paris, 1702) Lib. 12—Lib. 24, 6. ii, 4, of Gregoras’ History. This was Vol. II of his work. No one before his time or unacquainted with his work would have entitled Lib. 24, ο. ii, 5—Lib. 37 (38) of the history Tomus III, as does our manuscript, and that is precisely the point at which Boivinus left his work. Having carried the publication of the History in Tom. II through Lib. 24, ο. ii, 4, he promised to complete his edition by a third volume, the contents of which were to be “‘libri quatuordecim, historici quidem octo, dogmatici vero sex,’ and a fourth volume, which was to contain Opuscula. These last two volumes were never published. But Boivinus’ preface shows that he had collected considerable material for the third volume at least. For this he had copies of manuscripts from the Vatican prepared under the supervision of I. Vivantius at the expense of the abbot Camillus Teller covering apparently Lib. 25 and 26; a Paris manuscript containing apparently Lib. 28 to 32 or 33, and for the rest again copies of Roman manuscripts given him by Fr. Rostgaard. There can scarcely be any doubt that the material thus secured from Rome was based upon Vat. 1095. There is no record of any other manuscript of Niceph. Gregoras in Rome and certainly not of any which would correspond, like it, in contents (Lib. 18-38 [37]), in making Vol. II of the history begin with Lib. 12, and in counting 38 books, with the only Vatican manuscript of which Boivinus furnishes any adequate description, when he says (Migne, loc. cit., col. 11f.): Joannes Mabillonius . . . . communicavit mecum in- dicem accuratum librorum XXI, in uno codice Vaticano exstantium; quorum primus esset δευτέρου βιβλίου λόγος ζ΄, id est, Secundae Partis liber septimus, seu totius historiae decimus octavus; ultimus vero

inscriberetur, Ῥωμαϊκῆς ἱστορίας Ay’... . . An examination of Cod. Vaticanus 1095, made by Mr. Sprengling at Rome in 1908, shows that the Nicephorus part of it begins with Lib. 18, reaching Lib. 24, c. ii, 5 on f. 95a; it makes Vol. II of the whole history begin with Lib. 12, as the heading to Lib. 25, cited above, shows; and it counted, by the error above shown, 38 books, instead of 37. Just what stage Boivinus’ work upon this material reached neither he nor any one else has told. After him, however, work upon it seems to have lain dormant for over a century. His work was reprinted in the Corp. Byzant., Venice, 1729 (cf. Migne, Patrol., 8.G. 148, col. 100, note [d]), but there is no record of any attempt to add to it at that time. Schopen, in the Bonn Corpus Script. Hist. Byz., 1839, did little more than reprint Boivinus’ edition in two volumes. He tells, however, of a certain Hasius, who seems to have promised to take up the work where Boivinus left it. But his efforts led to nothing. It was not until 1855 that Immanuel Bekker issued as Vol. III of Niceph. Gregoras’ works in the Bonn Corpus, that portion of the history contained in our manuscript. But it is practically certain he did not make use of our manuscript. True, the remainder of 24, and the whole of Lib. 25 and 26, and indeed (though he does not say so) Lib. 27 in his edition are based upon a copy of Cod. Vaticanus 1095, which is the source of a large portion of our manuscript. But the copy he used was expressly made for him (see his preface) at the cost of the Berlin Academy, by a certain Henricus Brunnus, and the rest of his work is based upon Codd. Paris. Reg. 1276 and 3075 (the latter a portion, at least, of Rostgaard’s work), a copy of which he secured through Wladimir Brunetus. The text which he secured by these means does not correspond to that offered by the present manuscript. Indeed, had he had this manuscript, with its marginal notes, conjectural emendations, etc., his edition could not have failed to be considerably better. Since that time his work has been once reprinted, Migne, Patrol., 8.G. 148, 149.

The most reasonable hypothesis, then, in regard to this manuscript, is that it was prepared either by or for Boivinus, as “copy” for his Vol. III. He may himself have had it (some of the work in the notes would seem to indicate as much), and sent it to Italy for correction (as he did with part of the material for the second volume), whence it was never returned to him. Or the whole of the work may have been done in Italy and may never have reached him.

Callistus III was pope 1455-58. Gualdo in Umbria is probably meant, though a monastery of 8. Maria de Gualdo in the diocese of Beneventum may be intended. A catalogue clipping prefixed to no. 26 describes this Angelo as a Spaniard in the Convent of 8. Croce, partly through a misunderstanding of this colophon. There are occasional notes in another hand. Spaces have been left for large initials, but these have not been supplied. The manuscript is well written.

Marco di Firenze mio sempre Osservandissimo. Grande certamente tiene oggi la Serenissima Citta di Firenze, f. 2a (=p. 1).

Lines entitled Laude dal Servo di Dio trovate nel suo Breviario (ff. 3126, 313a), and Di S. Maria Maddalena (ff. 313a-314a) follow. Incip.: Tu sei dolce Giesu signore eterno.—Fzplic.: se del tuo lume santo fiamme accese. FY. 315-318, Indice.

Inside the first cover is written Ex B. 7 (or T), and below it in another hand, Mayerhoff. At the foot of the last verso, Pobratto (or Potratto ?) is written, inverted. Appended to the manuscript and within the same covers is another, a small quire of 12 leaves, entitled Costumi e Morte di Papa Alessandro VI Contrario Al P: Fra Girolamo Savonarola, etc., which we have described separately (no. 58).

Villari, in his Life and Times of Savonarola, says that Razzi’s Vita is a compilation from Pico and Burlamacchi, and that his works exist in manuscript in the Magliabecchian, Riccardian, and Laurentian libraries (I, xli, xlii). In pursuance of this suggestion we have examined the Razzi manuscripts in the National Central Library, in the Uffizi Palace at Florence, into which the Magliabecchian Library was merged in 1860. The Magliabecchian manuscript (xxxvii, 1, cod. 294) entitled Della Vita e Dottrina del RPF Girolamo Savonarola Difensione Gen- erale . Fra Serafino Razzi, begins thus: A Benigni Lettori Salute nel Signore. Perche importa assai con qual animo, etc., f. 2a. Like the manuscript under discussion the Magliabecchian concludes with verse: Di alcune Rime spirituali composte dal servo di Dio Fra Ieron(i)mo, f. 232 ff. In the same National Central Library is another work of Razzi’s, formerly in the Badia, entitled Vita e Morte di Fra Girolamo Savonarola da Ferrara dell’ ordine de Frati Predicatori e P? Reformatore della Congregazione de FF. di 5. Marco di Firenze. Descritta da F. Serafino Razzi, ... . 1590. This is a work in 65 chapters (ff. 553), and after an epigram (f. 16), begins with an address to Brandolini, as does the Chicago manuscript. The latter does not, however, fully agree with either of the Florence manuscripts we examined, and seems to be a different treatment of the same general subject by the same writer.

letter A (Alexo?) is inscribed on the outer edges. The leather-bound covers are adorned with a double eagle under a coronet at each corner and καὶ surmounted with a crown in the center. The form of the manu- script plainly shows the influence of printed books.

The manuscript would seem to be the autograph of Correa. Another work of his is mentioned in Antonio, Bibl. Hispana Nova, I, 1783, p. 9b: Regimiento de Jueces: printed at Hispali Apud Martinum de Montes- doca, 1556, in 4.

65. (Fr. 1.) ArmManD LE BoUTHILLIER DE Ranck, Examen des Reflexions du ἢ. P. Mabillon.

Paper, ff. 508, em. 48.929, including 1 fly-leaf. Quires 1-11 of 6 leaves; the others are too tightly bound to be determined. Single columns, 16-23 lines. A page numbering, 2-1012, runs from f. 3b to the end. Nos. 406, 407, 983 are omitted; no. 984 is repeated. Berlin Purchase no. 49. Ca. 1750.

Label: Examen des Reflexions du R. P. Mabillon. At the bottom is an oblong paper label bearing the number VI (cf. nos. 1, 5, 11, 51, 52), and over this the remains of an oval one like that on nos. 2, 6, 12, 14, 17, 18, 39, 47, 54, 63, which still bears the number 1. On the front and back covers are the arms of Pius VI (pope 1775-99), which also appear on nos. 47-49. On the front-paper, recto, the name Mont- faucon is written, as though he were the owner of the manuscript. But B. Montfaucon died in 1741, and the watermark is 1742.

Contents: Examen des Reflexions du R. P. Mabillon. On the front-paper, verso, below a drawing of the sacred heart:

Ainsi tendre Jesus, Pelican adorable!

Tu nourris tes enfans de ton Sang précieux: Ainsi ton sacré coeur est un banquét durable Qui leur offre en tous tems un méts delicieux.

F. 507a bears a similar drawing of the heart of Mary, pierced by a sword; above, Sacré Coeur de Marie: below:

Voici du pur Amour le centre et le modelle, Approchons-nous de cet ardent brasier,

Tl nous pénétrera d’une flamme immortelle, Qui de nos coeurs amolira l’acier.

1. Avertissement. Incip., f. la: Quand le R. P. Mabillon eut la charité de me venir voir aprés la publication de son Livre des Reflexions. —Erzplic., f. 1b: Dans le fond, j’ai toujours eu du respect et de la charité pour lui; mes sentimens se sont augmentez dans les rencontres, et je les conserverai jusqu’a la mort.—Ornament below.

Explic., ἴ. 5066, p. 1012: son Esprit, a qui seul il appartient de faire des choses miraculeuses. “Θὰ facit mirabilia magna solus.” Fin. In the margin: Ps. 71.19. At the bottom of the page, below a cherub: Nota, ce manuscrit est fait en coulée et batarde Angloise——The back- paper, recto, exhibits a price mark in lire.

This treatise is the final answer of Armand le Bouthillier de Rancé, the founder of the Trappists, in his debate with Mabillon on the question, Should monks occupy themselves with scientific study? the Abbé de La Trappe maintaining the negative. Overcome by the personal charm of Mabillon, de Rancé never published this or any other answer. The watermark bears the name of an Auvergne maker, and the date 1742.

66. (Ger. 1.) Book of Devotions.

Paper, ff. 188, cm. 14.29.7, in 23 quires of 8, except the 22d (11) and 23d (4). One fly-leaf in front. The paper guards in front and back, on which there was writing in a modern hand, have been partly torn out, showing underneath parchment with the lines of the musical staff. Over the parchment, above and beneath, are bits of red leather, probably the remains of a leather cover. Only the boards of the binding, with traces of a clasp, now remain. The manuscript proper is in single columns, 15-19 lines, no ruling. The beginnings of sections are marked in red, and an ornamental initial stands at the top of f. 153a (151a). There are at least two hands, the second beginning with f. 31b. An old hand (perhaps more than one, probably contemporaneous with the writing of the book) has inserted an irregular folio numbering, running from 1-32, 34-38, 38-68, 68, 39, 40-44, 85, 46-100. A modern hand has corrected the old in pencil, and continued the numbering of all the folia originally written upon throughout to ff. 163. Berlin Purchase no. 55. Probably century XV.

Label: wanting.

Contents: A collection of mediaeval devotional literature.

Amen Deo graltilas.

2. A series of religious stories: (a) Incip., f. 1138a (82a): Der bose geist wart off eyn zijt gefragt war in er die groste freyde hett.—Explic., f. 1136: vorware man kan mir keyn groszer freyd angediine. (6) Incip., f. 1138b: Eyn exempel von eyn Coster Esz ist gewest eyn Coster Cistercer orden in dem Closter zu Calliz.—Ezplic., f. 119@ (88a): und der koster sagt synen apt wasz eme begenet wasz und der apt sagt ysz synen brii- dern umb yrs lebes Amen.

On the blank leaves in the rear portion of the manuscript, the first known layman-owner has written a brief family chronicle with various memoranda. His hand appears first on f. 163a: Anno 1669 den 28. tag Aprilis. F. 163b contains a superstitious note of a murder committed on “Creutzerfindungs”-day, 1669, which in that year fell on a Friday. The rest of ff. 163-165 is taken up with memoranda of children at whose baptism the owner or his wife stood sponsor. F.173a, the family chron- icle. Incip.: Anno 1669 den 20. Dag Januarij. Hab ich mein frau zur Ehe. . . Ernst Lorentz Paulij Maria Magdalena Pauly geboren. . . . —Explic., after memoranda of a number of children with date of birth and name, f. 173b: Ano 1718 den 10 februari ist mein Vater sehlich entschlaffen. Johannus Pauli hat dis geschriben. The hand of the son is decidedly less fine than that of the father. F. 174a the hand of the father reappears. Incip.: Wasz ich Lorentz Paulij jarlich vor bes- chwarnusz und zinsen gebe . . . Explic., f. 175a: It(em). In dasz Hb. Hohenfelts Hausz Jarlich {[ein]] 1 vierdell Korn.

This manuscript of the Ol4fssaga was copied from the celebrated Flateyjarb6k, one of the best of Icelandic manuscripts, which was written in 1387-94. In the sixteenth century it was in the possession of a dis- tinguished family on the Island of Flatey, west of Iceland, and probably since 1656 has been preserved in the Royal Library at Copenhagen, The Flateyjarb6k is described in the Katalog over de oldnorsk-islandske HAndskrifter, i det store kongelige Bibliotek (Copenhagen, 1900) (no. 18. Gl. Κρ]. sml. 1005, I-II, fol. Flateyjarb6k), pp. 10-16. The standard

text of the Saga is the Christiania edition, 1860-68, in three volumes: Flateyjarbék. En Samling af norske Konge-Sagaer med inskudte mindre Fortellinger. The columns of the Copenhagen Flateyjarbék were numbered in the seventeenth century, and to these numbers the present manuscript refers.

The manuscript was once owned by Paolo d’Ambrosio, who seems to have given it to the Royal (now the National) Library at Naples, per- haps in honor of the Duke of Calabria.
