Aristotelian Manuscript

Physical Description
  • Material: Parchment
  • Pages: 114 leaves
  • Leaves Format: not available
  • Dimensions: 272 x 203 mm

Detailed Description
  • Decoration:
    Titles at the top of the pages, alternating in red and blue letters. They have the same colours as the smaller initial letters, while the taller ones are partly in red and partly in blue.
  • Layout:
    Text is set in long lines. Except for ff. 111v-113v which are written in two columns.
  • Hand Description:
    Text is worked out by one hand, writing gross shaky letters.
  • Binding Description:
    Wood covered with leather.
  • Provenance:
    On f. 1r some hand from the 18th century wrote: "Ex bibliotheca domus Choletarum". So we can guess, that it was in the Collège des Cholets in Paris before. We can find a seal "Collegium Ludovici Magnum". The manuscript had the signature "192. 3. 17" in the Collège Louis-le-Grand. And it has the old signature "Ms. l. III, 7" too. The manuscript was also in the library of Mauvoisin before.
