Roma Vat. Lat. 7196
From The Logic Museum
Jump to navigationJump to searchContents: 1 Dial. (fols. 2-162r); Alphabetic tabula (fols. 162v-168v).
From the British Academy description:
- Published Information: See See Scholz Unbekannte, p. 144; G.J. Etzkorn, Iter, p. 211. Both date MS to the fourteenth century.
- Observations: Vf includes the tabula also found in Vc. First folio missing in each Book (i.e. fols. 1, 5, 17, 22, 32, 57, 111), and also fol. 65. Corresponding folios of Vc are elaborately decorated, so it is possible that the missing folios of Vf were so too and were removed (stolen?) because of their value as artwork. Decorated initials: 36v. Vc and Vf appear to be the work of the same copyist or the same scriptorium--the writing, materials, text are similar; in both MSS "Jesus" is written at the beginning of each gathering (see 11r, 161r); there is a similar treatment of catchwords (see 10v, 160v) and of the numbering of sheets within the gathering (see above). Scholz and Etzkorn both date Vf to the 14th century; however, it must be almost contemporary with Vc, which was produced in the late 15th century.
- Collation shows that Vf belongs to the family that includes Ox Av Vc. It is especially close to Vc.
- Knysh: A note on fo. 1r indicates that the volume was owned by Luis Gomez (1484-1543), Spanish curial canonist and bishop of Sarno from 1534.
