Ms. codex.
Title from rubric (f. 1r).
Folios 4 and 8 have been rewritten in a different hand, apparently with information added to the manuscript from another source; at the bottom of f. 4r is the inscription "Corector ego idem Ansermus Robusti." At the bottom of f. 14r Ansermus again signs his name, identifies himself as "rector in civitate Alexandrie" and gives the date 18 May 1488; he further notes that he extracted these statutes from a "certain volume" with the addition of other clauses which had to be obtained from another source by one Anthonius de Pectinaciis of the town of Alexandria. Ansermus again signs his name on f. 16v.
The text block is wrapped in an early 11th-century fragment of a homiliary, preserving Augustine's Sermones in Vetero Testamento, Sermon 41, and his In Evangelium Johannis Tractatus, Tr. 24.
The text block is in good condition, but it is pulling away from the cover. The leather of the spine is badly deteriorated and almost entirely split apart.
These are pages that we pulled aside that disrupted the flow of the manuscript reader. These may be bindings, inserts, bookmarks, and various other oddities.
