Titum, Philemone, Hebraos, Actus, Iacobus, Petrus I, II. Iohannes I, II, III. Iude, Apocalipsis, Interpretations (Hebrew Names), Concordance or Subject Index., Decoration: Illuminated with large initials in gold paint (not leaf) and tarnished silver leaf, blue, red, and green with white tracery. Designs include human faces, grotesque animals, and interlaced vines and strapwork. Capital letters in red and blue. Text pages have runner in alternating letters of blue and red., Binding: Dark green morocco over boards, blind-stamped in diagonal mesh. Gold tooled paneling with corner fleurons inside covers. Deeply tooled gilt crest with monogram TW (Theodore Williams) on front cover; armorial design on back. On six-paneled spine: 'S. S. BIBLIA LATINA. CODEX ANTIQUUS. SUPRA MEMBRANIS'. Gilt and gauffered edges. Two flyleaves of newer, heavier parchment. Text has been trimmed., Script: Minute (1 mm high) Gothic script in brown ink with rubrication. The size is typical of the 13th century, versus the large works of the 12th century (per Sir Edward Maunde Thompson (1840-1929) in Introduction to Greek and Latin Paleography). Includes corrections by another scribe. The uncrossed '7' for 'et' indicates Italian origin. However, the script also shows French influence. The appearance of some rounded letterforms points to an early date for this manuscript showing its strong Carolingian influence., Origin: On the leaf before the MS. commences is a note in a 14th c. hand, 9 lines, in red and black, giving rules for finding the date of Easter from 1350 onward. Also on this leaf the 14th c. owner's name apparently appeared, but has been erased; there remains a note that the MS. cost him 19 florins...Also a further note for finding the date of Easter occurs on the last leaf...repeating the words 'mill'io C.C.C. quinquagesimo. This shows the book is earlier than 1350 (Thomas Thorp, bookseller, London).

- Manuscript document. Title devised by cataloger., Scope and content: Notebook on astronomy: the Elements, the Senses. Institutionum Physicarum, books 6, de Astronomia, 5, of 4 elements, 4th of senses, heat, cold ice, odor, taste, sound, sight., Text mentions astronomical events in 1783 and 1791. With 8 page booklet in English by Edward Sandford Burgess, written in black ink. According to Burgess, the manuscript was written in Paris by a student from, possibly, Italy, circa 1760-1783. Burgess describes a manuscript on astronomy, in which, among other things, the author attacks Ptolemy and Tycho, citing Kepler. He reconciles the Bible and Science, justifying Joshua for saying 'Siste sol', since he was referring to the real motion of the earth to the sun; it was more natural to address the Sun than to say 'Earth stand still'. The Copernicans themselves speak of the motion in terms of the Sun as the moving body, and say, 'The sun falls, the sun rises.' Burgess also describes sections dealing with the five senses. With loose paper label upon which is written in black ink: Latin Ms. on paper/ astronomy / 17th or 18th c., Collation: Octavo. Page numbering restarts in various sections; not all pages numbered; some blank pages. 12 ink diagrams tipped in., Origin: Paris?Script: Cursive in brown ink with ascender and descender flourishes., Binding: White alum-tawed parchment over boards.

- Description
- Manuscript codex. Summary: Scholastic philosophy is at first influenced by Platonism through the mediation of St. Augustine from the 13th Century ... by Aristotle's philosophy ... The Stagirite became the official philosopher ... Toward the middle of the fifteenth century [scholasticism] succumbs to the secular and liberal reaction inaugurated by the Renaissance. Weber's History of Philosophy, pp. 202, 239. The Organon, or instrument of philosophy was earnestly studied before and after the dominance of Aristotelian metaphysics under scholasticism.

The Copernicans themselves speak of the motion in terms of the Sun as the moving body, and say, 'The sun falls, the sun rises.' Burgess also describes sections dealing with the five senses.

66. De Oratore [006]
- Description
- Manuscript codex., Collation: In quires of 8 (except 1 of 6, 8 of 7, and last of 1). F. 8 first leaf missing. Folio numbers added in brown ink; partially cut off, indicating pages were trimmed. Two blank flyleaves of handmade paper at front and back added in 2011 rebind., Decoration: First page has elaborate illuminated initial and border on three sides with gilding over raised gesso. Large initial C in pink with architectural motif, filled with vines in wash of green, red, and blue, on a background of blue with whitework scrolls, all surrounded by gilding with tiny dotted punch-work. Along left margin, a bar in blue and gold sprouts vines and leaves on three sides. Vines in red or blue ink with painted leaves in pink, green, blue, gold, and red. Scattered raised gold dots outlined with black ink curlicues. Along top, a green acanthus leaf. Along base, a grotesque dragon in red, blue, pink, gold, and green, and a now illegible coat of arms, including red and blue. The document describes a dark brown shield ... across the center a broad fess azure; above rays gules; below, metallic brown. These details may have been more visible in the past than they are now. However, brown is not a normal heraldic color, so this may be discoloration or a bole (clay) wash under gold which has rubbed off. Above the shield are initials M. A. with red penwork flourishes. Throughout, numerous red and blue initial letters, embellished with delicate penwork in alternating purple or red., Binding: 2011 binding by Etherington Conservation Services.

Five-paneled spine with raised cords laced into boards. White linen head and tail bands. Pastedowns and 2 flyleaves of modern handmade paper at front and back. Interrupted borders of frontispiece indicate the manuscript was trimmed. The manuscript was previously bound in a 20th century velvet binding., Script: Rounded Humanistic book hand. A few lines rubricated.

With 8 page booklet in English by Edward Sandford Burgess, written in black ink. According to Burgess, the manuscript was written in Paris by a student from, possibly, Italy, circa 1760-1783. Burgess describes a manuscript on astronomy, in which, among other things, the author attacks Ptolemy and Tycho, citing Kepler. He reconciles the Bible and Science, justifying Joshua for saying 'Siste sol', since he was referring to the real motion of the earth to the sun; it was more natural to address the Sun than to say 'Earth stand still'. The Copernicans themselves speak of the motion in terms of the Sun as the moving body, and say, 'The sun falls, the sun rises.' Burgess also describes sections dealing with the five senses.

Includes corrections by another scribe. The uncrossed '7' for 'et' indicates Italian origin. However, the script also shows French influence. The appearance of some rounded letterforms points to an early date for this manuscript showing its strong Carolingian influence., Origin: On the leaf before the MS. commences is a note in a 14th c. hand, 9 lines, in red and black, giving rules for finding the date of Easter from 1350 onward. Also on this leaf the 14th c. owner's name apparently appeared, but has been erased; there remains a note that the MS. cost him 19 florins...Also a further note for finding the date of Easter occurs on the last leaf...repeating the words 'mill'io C.C.C. quinquagesimo. This shows the book is earlier than 1350 (Thomas Thorp, bookseller, London).

Also on this leaf the 14th c. owner's name apparently appeared, but has been erased; there remains a note that the MS. cost him 19 florins...Also a further note for finding the date of Easter occurs on the last leaf...repeating the words 'mill'io C.C.C. quinquagesimo. This shows the book is earlier than 1350 (Thomas Thorp, bookseller, London).

With 8 page booklet in English by Edward Sandford Burgess, written in black ink. According to Burgess, the manuscript was written in Paris by a student from, possibly, Italy, circa 1760-1783. Burgess describes a manuscript on astronomy, in which, among other things, the author attacks Ptolemy and Tycho, citing Kepler. He reconciles the Bible and Science, justifying Joshua for saying 'Siste sol', since he was referring to the real motion of the earth to the sun; it was more natural to address the Sun than to say 'Earth stand still'. The Copernicans themselves speak of the motion in terms of the Sun as the moving body, and say, 'The sun falls, the sun rises.' Burgess also describes sections dealing with the five senses.
