France, Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, lat. 6296, fol. x1, digital image published by the Digital Averroes Research Environment (DARE), URI: https://dare.uni-koeln.de/app/manuscripts/BOOK-DARE-M-FR-PAR-BNF-lat.6296/page/1
Foliation:
F. 129 is not signed out, but it seems to be a foliation mistake (cf. ff.
128v
and
129r
). There appears to be no missing text. The DARE-counting tries to represent the correct foliation, reducing the total number of folios to 329 leaves, whereas
Lacombe
gives a total number of 330.
Decoration:
Titles are written on top of the pages and coloured in black and blue.
Initials depicted in gold and various colours, ornated with ramifications, elongations extend into the margins.
On f.
217v
we can see a drawing of a zonal map. On f.
224r
we can see a drawing of a total lunar eclipse. On f.
225v
we can see two drawings of the rainbow and its colours. Two explanatory drawings for the optical aspects of the formation of a rainbow can be found in ff.
226r
and
227r
.
Hand Description:
Text is written by one Gallic hand in black.
Provenance:
On f.
3r
we can see that the signature of the codex was once Colbertinus 1064, then Regius 4957/3A.
On f.
328v
one can find: "Liber Beate Marie de Noa [= La Noe, monasterium cisterciense,
Lacombe
], Ebroycensis diocesis", and further on: " ... custodit frater Robertus monachus ejusdem domus commorans in sancto Bernardo Parisius".
