‘Omnium recte philosophantium verisimilibus coniecturis credibilibus argumentis — (53v) tenebrarum sic se habent. Explicit liber sextus. Deprehense sunt et prima quidem eclipsium fuit in XVIIIo anno Adriani cum verus locus Solis — omnibus sic constitutis LE lineabo in superficie circuli altitudinis.’ = Almagesti minor (C.1.4)
. The section on f. 53v-65v corresponds to IV.12-V.13, which the scribe had skipped on f. 29r, where he left a note in the margin referring the reader to ‘in fine libri’. This misplaced section matches up with folio changes in Cracow, BJ, 1924, which was therefore the likely exemplar of the present MS. Marginal notes by the scribe and by Johannes Vögelin. |
