Description:
In Latin., Script: Two scribes: A copied ff. 1-31 in Southern Praegothica close to late Carolingian script; B copied the rest, starting with the text of Book 5 of Aeneis, in more rapid early Southern Textualis/Semitextualis; his spelling is marked by italianisms., The headings in red are not executed; some added later in Gothica Cursiva Formata (Cancelleresca); instructions for the rubricator are seen ff. 70v-75r. Numerous paragraph marks alternately in red and blue, sometimes black. Plain and flourished initials of various sizes in red and blue (other colours are also used in quires I-IV). Seventeen painted initials decorated with gold balls. From f. 70v onwards there are guide-letters, but all initials and other decoration are missing. A rectangular space of the width of one column was reserved for a miniature on f. 1ra, which was not executed., Ff. 1-31 appear to be palimpsest, with very irregular edges, sometimes repaired by sewing strips of parchment onto them, which are now lost., and Binding: Seventeenth century. White parchment over pasteboard. On the spine with five slightly raised bands red leather label with gold-tooled inscription "VIRGI-/LIUS / M.S." (this title has been completed in black ink with "P(ublius)" , "Eneidos etc." and "membr"); below the label the handwritten date "saec. XIV". Marbled endpapers.
