`_`	(the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.

`%%`	(two percent signs) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character, but not for blank space (so that a search ends at word boundaries).

Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 16659

Date:

s. XV (except for part III, dating from the first half of the 13^th c.).

Or.:

France (?).

Prov.:

part III belonged to Richard of Fournival, to Gerard of Abbeville (c. 1261) and to the college of Sorbonne (1272); part II was given to the college of Sorbonne by François Guillebon (d. 1534) and was bound together with part III in the 17^th c. No information regarding origin or provenance of part I.

Parchment, 101 f. Composite MS made of three parts, each copied by a single hand: I, f. 1-2; II, f. 3-71; III, f. 72-101. The first part, which contains the Ptolemaic section, consists of two folia reused as binding, whose f. 1 is at present inaccessible for the most part (see below).

Ptolemaica (single text) (f. 1-2). The other parts of the MS contain Bartholomew of Parma’s Breviloquium de fructu totius astronomie (3r-67v) and Abraham Avenezra’s Liber de rationibus tabularum (72r-101r). F. 68-71 and 101v are blank.

My thanks to William Duba who identified the Ptolemaic text and called my attention to it.

F. 1 was glued on the inner front cover, making the text on the recto inaccessible, and a sheet of paper of smaller size (containing a brief description of the MS in a 19^th-c. hand) was glued on the verso, making about two thirds of it inaccessible. The last sentence (‘Et diversitates…’) repeats the beginning of Ptolemy’s lemma from the previous paragraph, a paragraph which was crossed out by the scribe, who added in the margin ‘vacat’. No glosses.
