Date:

s. XV^ex (in or after 1491, cf. f. 221r: ‘anni currentis… 1491’; the colophon ‘Expliciunt canones astrolabii per magistrum Georgium Pewrbach edidi anno salutis 1460’ on f. 270v refers to the date of composition of Peurbach’s work).

Or.:

probably Vienna.

Prov.:

Johannes Faber (d. 1541), bishop of Vienna (cf. inner front cover and f. 271r); University of Vienna.

Paper, 271 f., two hands (f. 1-13 and 14-270).

Astrology and astronomy: Ptolemaica (1r-13r); astrology ‘Res quibus perficiuntur prenosticationes accepte de astronomia…’ (14r-221r); Peurbach, Canones astrolabii (225r-270v); added notes (271r-271v). Blank: 13v, 221v-224v.

Note The incipit of the text f. 14r-221r corresponds to the beginning of Book I of Ptolemy’s Quadripartitum in the translation of Egidius de Tebaldis (see C.2.2), but the text itself is different, consisting of a comprehensive astrological treatise in 54 differentie covering all topics.
