Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: 1 Dial. (1r-172r), 2 Dial. (172r-187v). 1 Dial. books 2-7 begin at 6r, 18r, 23r, 33r, 53v, 121r.
From the British Academy description:
- Published Information: See R. Scholz Unbekannte Kirchenpolitische Streitschriften aus der Zeit Ludwigs des Bayern (1327-1354) (Rome, 1911), p. 143.
- Observations: Decorated initials: 1r. In gatherings of 10 folios. Fol. 121r begins a new gathering. It seems (see comment by Knysh) that 1 Dial. 1-6 was written after the rest of the MS. 1 Dial. 6 begins at 53v and ends at 116v, with fols. 117, 118, 119, 120 left blank; 1 Dial. 7 begins at 121r. The incipit for 1 Dial. 6 was written in afterwards, there is no incipit for book 7.
- Collation shows that in 1 Dial. Va is akin to the family that includes Pa Vg; it is especially close to Vg and Pc; however, it often disagrees with its kin --- see here.
- Knysh: Same hand throughout, except for some very minor textual adjustments by a verifier. 1 Dial.7 and the two treatises of De dogmatibus (“Dial.2”) were completed by 5 June 1437 (fo. 187v). The twelve gatherings (fo.1-120), which contain the first six books of 1 Dial., were filled through fo. 116v, with the final 4 folios of the last gathering left blank. There is a verification date of 14 September 1437 on fo. 116v. For the text of 1 Dial., Va is basically a manuscript of the same large family which evolved into the printed editions of 1476 and 1494, but it has been frequently corrected (and the corrected readings fully incorporated into its basic text rather than left as marginalia) by reference to textual traditions akin to Ba and Vc (see introduction to 1 Dial. 6.1-15).
