‘Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutatio ex corporum celestium mutatione procedit, causas que rerum rimaturum primo corpora celestia contemplari, oportet. Ptolomeus: Item premisi libros in quibus tractavi de impressionibus planetarum in hoc mundo… Ptho<lome>us: Sciencia astrorum ex te et illis, nec convenit peritum illorum prophetare… Expositio. Quod dixit Ptolomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod cum qui res futuras prescire vult — (105ra) et quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Tho<lome>us: Stelle cum caudis sunt 9 —in regibus et divitibus apparebit. Explicit liber anphorismorum.’ = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Centiloquium (version ‘Mundanorum’) (B.1.4)
, mixed with the ‘Iam premisi’ version (B.1.5). The opening sentence is from ‘Mundanorum’; v. 1-21 from ‘Iam premisi’; and v. 22-100 from ‘Mundanorum’ and, more precisely, from ‘Mundanorum 2’. The text includes Pseudo-Ptolemy’s De cometis (B.4) as the last chapter on f. 105ra-105va. Glosses by the scribe or a similar hand. |
