Abstract: Manuscript on paper of Commentary on the Epistles of St Paul. Includes a note attributing authorship to Gregorius Ariminensis O.E.S.A. (Gregory of Rimini, d. 1358).
Description: Script: Copied by one hand in a script resembling Humanistica Cursiva. Running headlines in Capitalis.
Decoration: The quotations from St Paul are underlined. The manuscript was originally undecorated, although space was provided for headings and initials with guide-letters. The uneven and fanciful decoration visible in the manuscript was added in the second half of the sixteenth century: painted intials, pictures of figures, including paintings of Christ and Paul, all completed in the same "byzantizing" style. Art. 1 contains a full-pace decoration showing a small triptych with three figures.
Binding: 16th century dark brown leather over wooden boards. Four raised bands are on the spine. Both covers are blind-tooled with fillets and multiple rows or groups of stamps. Some brass bosses preserved on each cover. Two clasps attahced to the front cover.
In Italian.
