Paper, 226 pp. originally foliated 1-266 in Roman numerals (according to this original foliation, f. 92-213 – between current f. 116 and 117 – are missing), one main hand.

Personal handbook made of texts, excerpts and notes of all kinds, mainly of a scientific nature, including astrology, computus, medicine, natural philosophy, alchemy, divination, cooking recipes, prayers etc., in both Latin and French. The Ptolemaic section (61-67) follows an astrological text on the 12 signs ‘Aries. Aries est signum calidum et siccum et incipit regnare a medio Marcii usque ad medium Aprilis, qui inter cetera habet cor forte et vult multa emere…’ (51-61) and precedes a text describing the native of the seven planets in French ‘Sensuit la disposisicion quelles planetes donnent aux hommes…’ (67-69) and a physiognomy, also in French (69-72).
