Notes

Data Source: Leiden University Libraries Digital Collections

  • Gumbert (2009) discerns eight parts but he describes parts 1-3 and parts 6-7 together. Molhuysen (1912) discerns only two parts of which the larger part (ff. 1-140) is written in the same hand, while empty leaves were filled up by other hands.
  • Textual: (ff. 1r-60v) The letters of Ivo of Chartres are 'polluted' with (fragments of) other letters. - (ff. 57v-58v) Incipit: "Labilis huius vitae solatium...". - (ff. 58v-59v) Sancte Paterbrunnensis ecclesie episcopo domino H.G. prepositus et cum eo totus Mogontine sedis clerus fidele servitium cum orationibus. Prepositus immo depositus...". - (ff. 110v-112r) Incipit: "Que non noscuntur si non exempla secuntur...". - (f. 112r) Title: "De agnoscendo colore agnorum natorum vel sexu ex auditu non visu". Incipit: "Quis color sit pecudis si forsan noscere queris...". - (ff. 113r-123r) Up to book II ch. 21, but with some excerpts from book II and IX at the end of the text. - (f. 124v) Possibly written by one 'Henric' (name written in the margin, other hand). Incipit: "Mus gaudet minime nisi sint plures sibi rime...". - (ff. 125r-v) De orthographia is book I, ch. 26 of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. - (ff. 127v-128v) Incipit "Sciendum quod propria nomina...". - (ff. 141r-156r) Incipit: "Quoniam cuiusque actionis...". - (f. 165r) Incipit: "Crux roseis picta notulis et regis am icta...". - (ff. 174r-177r) Incipit: "Incipit liber Hermanni de composicione orologii...". - (ff. 177v-178v) Incipit: "(S)olis duo sunt orbes...". - (ff. 179v-180r) Incipit: "Te invocamus, te adoramus...".
