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).

Description
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.
