Dixit Haly: Verba que dixit sapientissimus Ptholomeus in arte iudiciorum astronomie… (2rb) Capitulum primum primi tractatus libri quarti partium Ptholomei. Res, Misori, quibus perficiuntur pronosticationes accepte de astronomia, maiores et nobiliores sunt due — (92vb) posuit in hoc libro sunt regule et radices quibus ars ista componitur. Explicit. Benedictus sit Deus gloriosus et sublimis et Deum illum dirigat qui scripsit. Explicit. Volo in hoc loco dare tibi exemplu trium nativitatum ut melius intendas quicquid locuti sumus in eis, in prima est nativitas mea — hec sunt que tibi glosavi in quibus studium et mentem apponas et Deus te dirigat in viam rectam. Volui probare utrum iste actor (!) iudicaret secundum nonam speram vel secundum octavam, et inveni per loca planetarum que ponit in figura sue nativitatis quod ipsa fuit annis Christi perfectis 986, 10 mensibus, 15 die Ianuarii, qua die equavi planetas secundum tabulas Mach<linienses> et inveni sic.’ = Haly Abenrudian, Glosa super Quadripartito Tholomei (C.2.2)
. Translator’s preface, 1ra-1rb; Haly’s preface, 1rb-2rb; I, 2rb-26rb; II, 26rb-48va; III, 48vb-74vb; IV, 74vb-92vb; Haly’s appendix, 92vb-95rb; additional note, 95rb. A few corrections by the scribe, including a longer marginal note f. 2r: ‘Dixit Abrahyn Iudeus sapiens de Tholeto quod hec que dicit Haly est veritas quia…’. Short glosses throughout by at least three contemporary hands, one of which is perhaps identical to the one that copied the gloss on f. 96v (William of Saint-Cloud). One of these hands added in the margins of f. 30r-30v a long section missing in c. II.3 borrowed from Plato of Tivoli’s translation. A longer gloss in a later hand (14th or 15th c.) on f. 42v is signed ‘Iohannes’. |
