- Description

In Latin.
Script: main text is copied by one hand writing Southern Gothica Textualis Formata. The additional artt. 5-9 and the notes are written in extremely small Gothica Cursiva Libraria, all probably by Dominicus de Seraphinis.
The manuscript contains: 1) Gerardus de Prato OFM, Breviloquium in sententias. 2) Iacobus de Benevento OP (s. XIII2 , Ps.-Bonaventura), Viridarium consolationis. 3) Aldobrandinus de Tuscanella OP (1250-1300), Scala fidei, second recension. 4) Note on the ten virtues. 5) Quodlibet questions with answers based on Raymundus de Pennaforti (d. 1275). 6) Note on the real existence of Purgatory. 7) A legal note on the conditions on which toll must not be paid for the transportation of goods, quoting Henricus de Segusio (Hostiensis, d. 1271). 8) A note about the four senses of Scripture.
The first page is badly soiled.
Headings in red. Alternately red and blue paragraph marks. 2- and 3-line flourished initials alternately in red and blue with very developed penwork in the contrasting colours in the left margin or in the intercolumnar space; at both ends the penwork terminates in conspicuous corkscrew ornament. 3- and 4-line litterae duplices with a yet more elaborate execution of the same type of penwork on ff. 2r (beginning of art. 2), 35v (2, beginning of art. 3), 52v (beginning of art. 4). The additional artt. 5-9 are undecorated.
