General Description

NOTE: DIAMM inventory uses the modern pencil foliation (b.r.r.) which corresponds to the foliation recorded during photography. The folio numbers are about 1 digit out from the old roman foliation at the centre of the top of most folios.

First half of manuscript copied by two scribes; remainder more hastily copied by six additional scribes, two of whom copied only sacred works (LawesS). Probably copied in Seville. Acquired in Seville in 1534 by Fernando Colón (1488-1539), son of the navigator. See SevC 5-1-43 for subsequent history of Colón collection.

Original ink foliation on upper center or upper right rectos, ii-cvii (excludes front flyleaf; ff. i, vi, x, xiii, xxiii, lvii, lix, lxvi now missing; 'lxxiiii,' 'lxxxii,' 'lxxxxii' omitted; two folios following f. lxxxvi not numbered). Two systems of modern pencil foliation is written in the bottom margin of the rectos, 1-98 at the gutter edge and 1-99 at the outer edge (some numbers in first system not visible on folios, but counted in enumeration; latter system includes front flyleaf). DIAMM inventory uses the modern pencil foliation on the outer edge of the bottom margin of the rectos; this was the foliation recorded during photography. These folio numbers are about 1 digit out from the old roman foliation at the centre of the top of most folios.
