Cracow, Biblioteka Jagiellońska, 593

Date:

s. XV¹ (in or before 1444 for the core of the MS, with additions from the second half of the 15^th c. on f. 66v-71).

Or.:

University of Prague; the MS is glossed by Johannes Andree Schindel, who attended Johannes Borotin’s lectures on Ptolemy’s Quadripartitum in Prague in 1444, evidently with this MS in front of him (cf. f. 73r: ‘1444 die Martis in die Felicis in Pincis, magister Joh<annes> Borot<in> incepit legere’ and f. 145v (bottom): ‘Anno domini 1444 currente 10 die Decembris, die Iovis, magister Ioh<annes> Bor<otin> finivit dominum Ptolomeum’; the same glossator also included horoscopes for 1444 on f. 88r, 88v, 99v, 124v and 134r, and mentions the year 1444 on f. 118v, as well as Prague and Bohemia, e.g. on f. 84v: ‘Ante annos 30 Prage et per Bohemiam multe sunt vise mulieres…’); the same Borotin had attended Schindel’s lectures on the Almagest some 30 years earlier (cf. MS Prague, APH, O. I (1585)).

Prov.:

the MS was donated to the University of Cracow in 1489 by Blasius de Casimiria, student in Cracow from 1452 onwards (f. 1r: ‘Magister Blasius de Kazimirz, sacre theologie baccalarius, hunc librum dedit pro Universitate Cracoviensi ac incremento studii eiusdem. Oretur pro eo. Hoc fecit anno domini 1489’).

Paper, 147 f., a single hand for f. 1r-66v, 73r-145v and 147r-147v, with later additions f. 66v-68v, 71v and 146v (originally blank) by at least two hands. Reserved initials.

Astrology mainly: Ptolemaica (1r-66v and 73r-145v); Aristotle, De sensu et sensato, fragment (147r-147v). The added texts include Hermes, Liber de accidentibus (66v-67r); ‘Stelle in zodiaco fortioris sunt operis et manifestioris qua mille extra zodiacum — Et propter hoc Ptolomeus ordinavit figuras septentrionales antequam meridionales’ (67r); ‘Prima domus vite sed dicitur (?) altera census…’ (67r); incomplete circular diagram showing the 12 signs, planets and a few geographical names, with note on aspects ‘Aspectus est certa distancia planetarum in certis locis zodiaci…’ (67v); notes on the great conjunctions for 1462-1473 ‘Coniunctio maxima secundum Albumasar fit in 960 annis…’ (68ra-68rb); ‘De nominibus XII signorum sic dicunt: Aries, Thaurus…’ (68rb-68va); notes ‘De revolutionibus annorum mundi. Si aliquis (?) fuerit fixum, figura sufficit ad totum annum…’ (71v); table of essential dignities (146v). Blank: 68vb-71r, 72, 146r.
