. Book I, 2r-15v; II, 16r-31r; III, 31v-41r; IV, 41v-48v. The text breaks off towards the end of c. IV.9, due to missing folia. Substantial glosses throughout, which form the body of the commentary. Many of these glosses give the opinion of other authors, mainly ‘Hali’, but also Albumasar, Leopold of Austria, John of Eschenden (‘autor summe Anglicane’), Hippocrates, Thebit, Alfraganus etc. |
