- Description

In Latin and Italian.
Script: the main text is copied by one hand in Gothica Semitextualis Libraria. The prophecies on the pope are copied by a similar hand writing Gothica Hybrida Libraria/Currens. The Italian headings to the tables of the Easter table and Lunar tables are written in very small Gothica Semitextualis Libraria. The final text is an addition in large Southern Gothica Textualis Libraria. The texts are undecorated. The Easter and Lunar tables are traced in black ink.
The manuscript contains recipies, in mediocre Latin, for the preparation and application of gold, silver and colours, dyeing leather, removal of stains, etc. The manuscript also includes an Easter Table for the years 1431-1530, a Lunar Table for the Nineteen Years Cycle 1432-1450 and following Cycles, and prophecies on the pope and the emperor by the unrecorded Iacobus de Cantone de Bononia (Giacomo Cantone of Bologna) and (probably) others.
