  Record prepared by Rega Wood,  October 2010.  File name:  PragM80.htm. Color tiff files by S. Loudat, fol. 1-36, 90-103, 124v-125r; also snippets pertaining to attribution on 56 (Qo de odore sec. magistrum Adam) and 146 (Expliciunt quaestiones Antisiodoren[sis] super philosophiam Aristotelis perypateci etc.). Good microfilm with duplicate shots where there were problems; the opening 124-125 is illegible, but Loudat supplies this image.

Provenance

  PM80 belonged to the Dominicans of Bohemia according to the flyleaf: "Iste liber est fratris Johannis ordinis predicatorum de provincia Boemie …" But note that the scribe who makes this claim writes in English charter script. So John was probably originally English, like the manuscripts he owned.

  Subsequently, PM80 was part of the collection of the fifteenth-century humanist Alexius (Mauricius) de Trěboň, who probably acquired it before 1496, quite likely before 1488. Alexius was born on 17 July 1467 and enrolled at the University of Cracow in 1488. On his return to Prague he was associated with the chapter of St. Guy (also known as St. Vitus) of Prague. He left Prague again to study canon law at Bologna, and died shortly after reestablishing himself at Prague, probably in 1496. In 1959 A. Hlaváček published the catalog of his collection from Prague Metropolitan Chapter Codex M 92, fol. 256v-261v. The entry for PM80 appeared on fol. 260v (p. 248), where it was codex 29 of 77 "In artibus libri," about 40 of which are preserved in the Archív. The catalog entry corresponds closely to the list on the front flyleaf (and the cover), suggesting that Alexius did not know the contents very well.

  Dimensions:  200 x 155 mm.

Collation:

  Quires 1, 3-5 are hair side out; quires 2, 6-7, flesh side out.   Quire breaks are not entirely random – that is Contra Averroem was deliberately begun on a new quire; likewise SMet 7. But work 3 begins on the penultimate folio of quire 6.

  Summary:     1⁸, 2^{8  lacks 6-8}, 3-4⁸, 5^{4   lacks 1} | 6⁶, 7^{4  lacks 4}

  Long form (signature (bifolia/string folio) last foliocatch): a (4/5) 8; [b] (4/13) 13 ^{lacks 6-8}; c (4/18) 21; d (4/26) 29; e (2/31) 32 ^{lacks 1}; f (3/36) 38; [g] (2/41) 41 ^{lacks 4}.

   Quires are numbered a-f on the verso of the last folio, at the bottom in the center, except on the second and seventh quires where pages are missing.

   No catchwords.

Layout:  Written below the top line.

  Double columns, 45 lines long.

  Written space  155 x  115. Column height 155 mm., width 55 mm.; 7 mm. apart.

  Margin size: top  10 mm., bottom 30 mm.;  inside 10 mm., outside 28 mm.

   Check sum: 10 (top mg.) + 155 (vertical col.) + 30 (bot. mg.)  = 195;  10 (in. mg.) + 110 (2 x horiz. col.) + 7 (center) + 28 (out. mg.)  = 155.

  Framing/lines by some combination of pencil, stylus, and light brown ink. Column frame single.

  Pricking marks (horizontal) clearly visible; also visible are two pricks at the top and two at the bottom for the center vertical lines.  Text frame is single; no outer margin frame is visible.

Running heads: only in SMet; mostly L (often between ornamental knots) appears on the verso, and the book number (between small ornamental knots) is on the recto, in contrasting colors, red and blue. The first two columns are labeled a and b.

Notes in the original hand:  brown (f.1-9), br. boxed in red (f. 10-18), br. and red, but mostly red (19-37), brown (f.38-41).

Decoration on fol. 1r:  Horizontal big-eared, long-tailed dragon(?) at the top of the first page nosing into the large green initial L with which the work begins. Descending from that L along the length of the column and beneath it past the beginning of column b is a brown decoration of some kind, perhaps not original.

  Other decorations:  Large paraphs in red and blue in SMet; small red and blue paraphs throughout.

  Ink profiles emerge from the column, except on 10v where they occur in the outside margin: Brown (f. 1-18), red (19-36), both colors (f. 34); an interesting variety of faces. No profiles in work 3.

Script 1:  fol. 1ra-13vb, 19va-32rb (SMet), 33vb-36vb (CAv): Round, upright Anglicana. Lemmas in a larger version of the same script, but the beginnings of each book are in textualis (red or red-accented).

Lemmas in the same script, but written in darker ink with broad strokes.

  Characteristic letters: open two-compartment a, f/s very slightly below the line, looped d, g with an extra diagonal stroke that goes far below the line and other forms of g as well, h with a limb descending below the base line, looped i longa, upright r sometimes goes below the line. There is no round, lowercase s; the upright s is looped.

Sed organum virtutis ymaginative differt ab organo sensus communis, probatio: Ex omnibus membris notabilibus exsistentibus |P 73ra| in corpore animalis illa verissime potest dici organum sensus communis ad quod copulantur organa omnium sensuum particularium. Hoc autem est ipsum cor in animalibus habentibus cor vel simile ipsi in animalibus carentibus corde. |P 73rb|

     73rb: Et iuxta illud verbum Aristotelis quod fantasia est motus factus a sensu secundum actum que necesse est esse sensui similem. Dicit autem quod sicut species sensibilium extra animam movent proprios sensus et mediantibus sensibus propriis virtutem communem, sic species existentes in sensu communi movent virtutem communem ymaginativam et faciunt ymaginationem in actu.

Notes:  Original hand, summaries, question titles. Some notes by a later reader.

Decoration: Large textualis rotunda caps, usually with intricate lacy designs in contrasting colors inside and outside the caps, for the first four works; no lace after fol. 130. In De sensu, there are no fancy caps, and the lemmata are in northern textualis. Paraphs only for De generatione. Other decorations:  Large paraphs in red and green up to fol. 114, and on 138-146 (Antissiodorensis). Horizontally stretched letters. Red and green profiles emerge from the column (except on 116 where there is a brown profile in the margin); no profiles after fol. 128. There is a large green O in the bottom margin of 119v.

Script 2:  fol. 109r: Angular Incipient Anglicana, loopless and upright, little space between the lines, plain ascenders. Lemmas in textualis script.

  Punctuation: Paraph,  punctus elevatus, medial & base point.

Script 4:  fol. 109v-132v: Incipient Anglicana with a single and a double compartment lowercase a; upright aspect; skeletal caps. Though the appearance is regular, there is great variety in the graphs, and f and s sometimes do and sometimes do not go below the line. There are several kinds of ascenders, plain, looped to the left, and bifurcated and looped to the right; the medial round s is common.

  Characteristic letters: single-compartment a; f/s with and without otiose strokes; looped d. The charter g is rare; more common is a graph that is open at the bottom, first extending parallel under the upper lobe and then swooping down to the left; the figure-eight-shaped g is rare but easy to confuse with an s. The shaft of the upright r sometimes goes below the line; round s in the initial and medial position common, but so is the upright s, which is also sometimes found in the final position; x with a long tail that sometimes sweeps back to the right.

 Could be a change of hands at De sensu, given the change in decoration and the disappearance of the medial round s.

  Abbreviations: Numerous, including a crossed tironian et sign;  three-shaped est, but also often with extra stroke. Connected abbreviation strokes.

  Punctuation: Paraph,  medial point.

  Elongated letters: 116r.

  Horizonally stretched letters: 124v etc.

  Spelling:  dingnum, ausilio, gingnere

Script 5:  fol. 133r-137r: Incipient Anglicana double-compartment a, either open or closed. Ascenders various: wedged, looped, and looped and bifurcated.

  Characteristic letters: Looped d, eight-shaped g, looped h with a limb that goes below the line. Neither f nor upright s goes much below the line, and the long-tailed r is rare. Even rarer is the round s, which occurs only at the start of standard abbreviations and never in the final position. There is no approach stroke on the v, and the y is dotted.

  Abbreviations: Numerous, including a crossed tironian et sign  and a four-stroke est.

  Punctuation: Paraph,  medial point and virgule.
