Reference Number MS FRAG/LAT/25
TitleTable of Moveable Feasts and De Partibus Orationis [Fragments]
Date14th Century?
Date216th Century
DescriptionTwo leaves, one large and one small, both paper. The larger leaf is a Tabula des festes mobilibus (table of moveable feasts) and the smaller leaf is an explanatory note in the same hand, probably 16th century. The text is in black ink with red highlights, and there is an additional list on the verso of the learger leaf. The larger leaf appears to have been cut from a book as it is actually two folios stuck together and is roughly cut down the left-hand side where it has been removed from a binding.
On the verso are two small manuscript fragments on parchment which may have been part of a larger piece recycled as decorative endpapers for the binding. They are from Donatus' De Octo Partibus Orationis, part of the Ars Minor of his Ars Grammatica. The text is a Gothic bookhand in black ink with red highlights and rubrics. One fragment is virtually illegible and has little text, having been cut from the margin of the manuscript. The other fragment has a larger amount of visible text, although it is heavily abbreviated. It reads:
"...[mag]nus. eus ut. tydeus vm ut templu[m]. [Que est ag]nicio secunde declinacionis hec est cu[ius genitius singula]ris et nominatius et vocatius plurales in I product[am desinunt datius] et ablatius in o productam. Accusatius in vm [correptam. Quando nominat]ius in r vel in m desinit similis erit [ei vocatius. Quando in us] mutatur in e Quando vero in ius si sint..."
The paper appears to date from the 16th century, whereas the parchment fragments are earlier, probably 14th century.
