Lacunae
before fol. 1, and after fols. 6, 38,
65, 161. A stub is visible after fol. 28, but no text is missing. The stub is
probably what remains of a singleton that was added after fol. 38, but has since
been cropped. Quire signatures (5–18) have been added on the last folio of a
quire (lower-inner margin). The signature after the first quire is ‘5’, showing
that four quires have been lost from the beginning of the book.The quire
containing fols. 135–146 has been folded incorrectly so that the inner leaves
are now the outer leaves of the quire. The result is that the text from
continues on , the text on
on , and the text on
on . This mix-up has been noticed by
the scribe who has written instructions in the margins on , , and . It would seem from
this that the writing was done before the folding.
Folia from
c
. fol. 73 onwards have been damaged in the upper-outer
margin, possibly by fire.Two columns with

. 38
lines. Vertical and horizontal bounding lines have been ruled in ink. Modern
foliation with pencil in the upper right-hand margin. Prickings visible in the
upper, lower and outer margins.One scribe writing a well-practiced gothic cursive of
saec. XV
. The script is suggestive of
Germany
as the place of origin (Lehtinen 1995,
11
). The same scribe has added headlines in the margins against some of the
quaestiones
. The addition of numbers to the quaestiones
was possibly the work of another scribe (or
reader).Initials are simple lombards in red. Paraphs, underlinings and letters are done in
red.
Litterae notabiliores
on the top line are often
elongated. There are occasionally faces or other decorative motifs (e.g. ). In the first part (Prima secundae
), the title
of the book is written in the upper margin and numbers for quaestiones
added in red ink.Wooden boards with dark brown leather covers. Blind-stamped diamond-shapes on both
covers. Two clasps were attached to the front cover; today only a part of the
leather remains. Paper pastedowns on inner front and back covers. On the inner front
cover, bits of a parchment leaf are visible below the paper pastedown. Pasted on the
outer front cover, a piece of paper with the title ‘Responsiones siue conclusiones
questionum tocius summe beati thome de aquino [compend]iose et efficaciter’.
The script, combined with the note on the inner back cover, suggests that the
manuscript has a German origin and early provenance. It contains an abridgement of
The manuscript shows little sign of having been used. The
practised script, quire signatures, and the binding of one quire in the wrong order
all suggest commercial copying. There are four quires missing from the
beginning.
Thomas Aquinas
’s Summa
theologiae.
In the back cover, a pledge note, dated
13 August
1439
: ‘Anno dominice incarnacionis 1439 dominus Godfridus Vasoldi in die
Ypoliti martiris exposuit pro domino Goschalko Schellin quintam mediam marcam pro
expensis suis et fecit fidem vni pro sex marcis et vij s. et presentauit ei
compendium philosophie pro iiij marcis; in fidem illius restituit ei hunc librum
suum, velle eorum etc.’ (edited in FMU
2297
). By 1658
, the manuscript was in the
possession of the church of Yläne
, where it
appears in the inventory as one of the ‘monk books’.On inner front cover: ‘Yläne
Capell Kyrka tillhörig 1793. Jon. Enberg’. The manuscript is one of those reported
in the church inventories of 1658, 1729, 1750 and 1782.Since another university book written in Germany (
Helsinki, National Library,
D.II.46
) also belonged to Yläne
church, it is possible they arrived together with a
(Finnish) student or were inherited from one. From Yläne
the manuscript was moved to
the National Archives
in 1863
, and from there to the National Library
in 1971
