Summary:
Manuscript 517 is a reference work on the writings of Aristotle.
The volume contains both word indices (Tabulae) and chapter lists
(Capitula or Distinctiones), with the former referring to the
location in the Corpus Aristotelicum through a series of letters
and numbers. The codex begins (ff. 1r-124r) with an index on the
natural writings and the Metaphysica; followed (ff. 124v-139v) by
an index on the De animalibus; and by two indices on the Logica
vetus (ff. 139v-144v) and Logica nova (ff. 144v-160v). The
following unit (ff. 161r-174r) gives the chapter headings for a
large number of treatises, i.e. the Physica, De Generatione,
Meteorologica, De caelo et mundo, De anima, De memoria et
reminiscentia, De sompno et vigilia, De morte et vita, De
vegetabilibus, Metaphysica, De animalibus, Predicamenta,
Perihermeneias, De sex principiorum, Topica, Elencha, and the
Analytica Priora and Posteriora. This is followed (ff. 175v-205v)
by an index on the Ethica, followed (ff. 205v-206v) by a list of
chapter headings for this work. The last unit (ff. 207r-229r) is an
index on the Ethica, Politica and Rethorica. Two scribes have
worked on this volume: one on the first five reference tools, the
other on the last three. The former has ended three units with a
colophon, identifying him as Laurencius Ducis or Laurencius
Hertoghen, a monk from Ter Doest, who copied these units for his
abbey. One of them also mentions the year, 1372. The other units
written by this scribe must have been produced The scribes used a
similar layout and decoration to harmonize their work. The text is
copied in two columns (with the exception of ff. 168r-174r, which
contain three columns per page), surrounded by broad margins for
lemmata and references to titles. Initials, paragraph marks and
decorative strokes through majuscules have been executed in red
ink. The scribe Hertoghen used majuscules for incipits and
explicits. The first initial of each unit has been carefully
executed with decorative penwork. The binding is medieval and
consists of blind stamped full leather over wooden boards. The
fenestra has survived and is attached to the back board. Traces of
clamps are visible. The codex was originally owned by the Ter Doest
abbey, as mentioned in one of the colophons, and found its way into
the collection of Ten Duinen. The cross-shaped stamp of the latter
abbey is found on the first and final leaves. [Summary by Dr. Mark
