Fols. 81r–82r blank

Fol. 82v and pastedown on back cover: Grammatical/logical notes

Fol. 83r, Pons asinorum.

Additions: Notes related to the Tractatus are written on slips pasted to fol. 1r, and added after fols. 1, 2, 12, 13, 19, 21, 22, 42. Two loose slips are found in a separate envelope. Fol. 7 is left blank. On fols. 9r–11v, 14r–16v, is commentary on Bk III, De predicamentis.

Paper 83 folios. 14,5 22 7 11,5-12 Modern foliation in pencil in the upper right-hand corner of the recto side. >(VII-5)(+4)13 + (VIII-4)(+3)28 + (VII-2)40 + (VII-7)47 + (VII-2)59 + (VII-2)71 + (VII-3)82 + 183

In the first and second quires, several leaves are missing from each, but others were inserted later (four in the first quire and three in the second), and these are included in the modern foliation.

Added folia: fols. 7, 9–10 (a loose bifolium), 11, 14–16. Added slips: on fol. 1r and after fols. 1, 2, 12 (loose), 13, 19, 21, 22, 42. Two slips in a separate envelope: one belongs between fols. 41 and 42, the other looks like it has been removed from the binding. Lacunae, often resulting where several leaves have been cut out, before fol. 1, after fols. 4, 13, 22, 28, 40, 41, 47, 59, 71, and a leaf also seems to have been excised after 80. The missing leaves are generally from the middle or outermost parts of the quire. Apart from the missing leaves the manuscript is in fairly good condition.

20–26 lines of text in one column with vertical and horizontal bounding lines occasionally visible and ample margins.

One main hand, writing a 15th-cent. cursive. Extensive additions in cursive by at least five distinct 15th-cent. hands.

On fols. 12r, 22r fleuronné-decorated initials in red and blue. Thereafter book-initials are usually missing or have been added later. In one initial, which was added later, on fol. 60r the text ‘Colonia flos florum’ is found. Monochromatic initials also on fol. 26v, 48r, 54v. Red lombards in two sizes appear fairly regularly throughout the manuscript, some are flourished in blue. Paraphs and emphasizing of capital letters in red carried out throughout the manuscript with some exceptions. Chapter headings added in the upper margin in red. On fols. 34v–43r marginal notes and additions made with red crayon.

Medieval; undecorated dark brown leather on wood. The binding is in rather poor condition, with the leather cracked and the bands partly showing. Remnants of a hook-clasp attached to the front cover are visible. Front pastedown/flyleaf missing: a leaf from an Old Swedish version of <hi rend="italic">Florez et Blanchefleur</hi> was discovered and subsequently removed from this binding by Aarno Malin (Malin 1921).

The manuscript was probably written in Germany and used in university studies as is suggested by the additions and added leaves written by different hands and containing commentaries on the texts. There are several leaves missing and in consequence only a few tractates (6, 10, and 11) are complete. The presence of an Old Swedish fragment found in the binding renders it likely that the work was (re-)bound in Sweden during the middle ages. By 1658 the manuscript was in the possession of Yläne chapel. It is uncertain how it arrived there, but since another university book written in Germany (Helsinki, National Library, Coll.762.2) also belonged to Yläne chapel, it is possible they arrived together with a (Finnish) student or else were inherited from one.

Addition on fol. 60r ‘Colonia flos florum’. Suggests a possible provenance.

The presence of an Old Swedish fragment of Florez et Blanchefleur found in the binding renders it likely that the work was (re-)bound in Sweden during the middle ages.

On fol. 83v: a 16th-cent. hand writes a few words in Swedish.

Fol. 1r, in a hand of saec. XVIII: ‘Yläne Capell Kyrka tillhörigt. Jön. Enberg’, referring to Jonas Enberg who assisted the chaplain in Yläne in 1789 (Yrjö Kotivuori, Ylioppilasmatrikkeli 1640–1852: Jonas Enberg. Online publication 2005 . Accessed 1.10.2014). The manuscript is reported in inventories of St Olav’s chapel, Yläne, in 1658, 1729, 1750, and 1782.

The manuscript entered the collections of the National library in 1863. Inner back cover: National Library’s shelf-mark in a modern hand ‘D II 46’, ‘ D 2’.
