Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 7377B

Date:

s. XII^ex-XIIIⁱⁿ (for f. 1-82, the rest of the MS seems to date from the 14^th and 15^th c.).

Or.:

Italian hand (f. 1-82; the same hand copied MS Vatican, BAV, Vat. lat. 3100).

Prov.:

‘Iste liber pertinet Iohanno Colpard de Tornaco [Tournai]’ (f. 141v, 15^th-c. hand, perhaps the same that copied f. 122-140 – this owner’s note apply perhaps to f. 122-140 only); Colbert; library of the kings of France in 1732.

Parchment and paper, 143 f., composite MS made of four parts, each copied by a single hand (f. 1-82, 83-98, 99-121, 122-140). Folia 61-81 are in disorder and should be read 79, 63-77, 80, 78, 61-62, 81, as partly worked out by a modern hand that has re-numbered the displaced folia with remarks in French.

Geometry and astronomy (f. 1-82): notes on Euclid’s Elementa (1r-9r); notes on Albubater [Abū Bakr], Liber mensurationum ‘Questio prima et secunda. Prima DCG satis per se patet…’ (9v-37v); ‘Hec probationes sunt necessarie in theoremate undecimo partis secunde libri Theodosii de speris…’ (38r-60v, on this section, see Geber’s Liber super Almagesti (C.1.2), under Note); Thebit Bencora, Liber carastonis, beginning missing (79r-79v and 63r-65v); Thebit Bencora, De figura sectore, tr. Gerard of Cremona (66r-72v); Ptolemaica (73r-77v, 80r-80v, 78r-78v, 61r-62v and 81r-81v). Blank: 82. The other parts of the MS include: ‘Geometrie due sunt partes principales…’ (83r-89r); Archimedes, Tractatus de incidentibus in humidum corporibus (89v-94r); Campanus of Novara, De proportione et proportionalitate (94v-98r); Alfraganus, De scientia astrorum, tr. John of Seville (99r-119v); Johannes Damascenus, Aphorismi (122r-125v); Curatus de Ziessele, Compendium theologiae naturalis ex astrologica veritate sumptum (126r-140v); various added notes by at least two hands, including a table of contents (141v). F. 98v, 120-121, 141r and 142r-143v are blank.
