Description

This scholarly manuscript contains three texts concerning the art of rhetoric. Its contents and evidence of intensive use attest to the study of Classical texts in the Middle Ages, especially those concerning the rhetorical arts. The manuscript contains marginal or interlinear notes on almost every page (almost all written in the same hand), tree diagrams (ff. 7v and 12v), and its flyleaves include diagrams demonstrating contemporary optical theory. ff. 3v-10v: Marcus Tullius Cicero (b. 106 BC, d. 43 BC), De inventione (On Invention). ff. 44r-48v: Boethius (b. c. 480, d. 524), Topica (Topics), Book 4. ff. 48v-84v: Pseudo-Cicero, Rhetorica ad Herennium (Rhetoric for Herennius), Book 4. Decoration: 6 large initials in combinations of green, red and yellow (ff. 3r, 21v, 44r, 48v, 53r, 61r), 1 with penwork decoration, possibly added (f. 61r); a space for one initial was left unfilled (f. 68r).
