General Description

57v–58r, 59v–60r & 61v, rough ars antiqua notation in a practised hand, seemingly written with a plummet or some such, c. 1300 in the blank foot margin.

Host volume: This volume was written in the 13th century, probably by two alternating hands from France; it contains various astrological writings of Hellenistic-Arabic origin in the Latin translation of John of Seville, such as the Centiloquium Ptolemaei, as well as texts by Māšā'allāh, Alfraganus and Albumasar. This manuscript was part of the chained library of the Dominican Convent of Basel. (gam/flr)
