Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 16208

Date:

s. XII² (c. 1162, Georges).

Or.:

copied and decorated in Bologna, most probably for Walter of Lille (Walter of Châtillon), who annotated the MS from c. 1165 to at least 1201 (Georges).

Prov.:

Walter of Lille; Roger of Fournival; Richard of Fournival (son of Roger); college of Sorbonne by 1338. It is possible, but not certain, that the college of Sorbonne acquired the MS in 1272 via Gerard of Abbeville’s bequest, as was the case for many of Richard of Fournival’s manuscripts, but the characteristic Sorbonne’s ex-libris naming Gerard of Abbeville as the legator is missing in this MS.

Parchment, 136 f., several contemporary neat hands, decorated initials.

Astrology and astronomy: astronomical and astrological notes and horoscopes, added by Walter of Lille (1r-1v); Algorismi [al-Khwārizmī], astronomical tables, adapted for Toledo, with canons (2ra-3vb and 5r-12v), in which Walter of Lille inserted a set of tables for Pisa/London for 1169-1289 (4r-4v); Raymond of Marseille, Liber iudiciorum (13ra-26ra); Breviarium Alhandrei summi astrologi, ch. 7 (26rb); Liber Arzachelis introductorius ad librum iudiciorum Arabum (26va-33vb); Zael, De interrogationibus (33vb-44vb); Zael, De electionibus (44vb-48ra); Zael, Liber temporum (48ra-49va); Messahallah, Epistola de rebus eclipsium (49va-50va); horoscope of the eclipse of 1215, added by Roger of Fournival (50rb); Gergis, De significatione septem planetarum in domibus (50va-51vb); Messahallah, De cogitatione (51vb-52rb); Messahallah, Liber interpretationum (52rb-53rb); notes on an interrogation of 22 July 1130 ‘Aspexi hanc figuram et fuit autem signum et circulos…’ (53va); notes on an interrogation of 18 November 1131 ‘Dixerunt sapientes quod omnis universalis interrogatio…’ (53va-53vb); Albumasar, Flores (53vb-59ra); Ptolemaica (59rb-65ra); Berengarius, De horologio viatorum (65ra-65va); short chapters on the astrolabe (65va-66rb); calendar, added by Walter of Lille (66va); Liber ysagogarum Alchorismi (67ra-71ra); Haly Embrani, De electionibus horarum, Book II (71ra-75vb); Pseudo-Aristotle, Iudicia (76ra-83vb); Hermann of Reichenau, De mensura astrolabii (83vb-85va); De utilitatibus astrolabii (85va-88va); Berengarius, De horologio viatorum (88va); Messahallah, Liber receptionis, incomplete (88va-91va); Toledan tables, partly adapted for Le Mans, with canons (92va-135r); Tabula prenostica Salomonis (135r); letter of 1163 by a certain Heribertus concerning a heretical sect in the region of Périgueux, added (135v); astronomical and astrological notes added by Walter of Lille and Roger of Fournival (136r-136v).
