This 14th century manuscript, possibly produced by means of the
Pecia System, contains the Super ethica and De causis et processu
universitatis by Albertus Magnus. The Pecia System is a method for
the quick handwritten reproduction of an original: instead of
copying the text as a whole, it is divided into several sections so
that several scribes could simultaneously work on creating a copy.
This volume belonged to the Dominican Johannes Tagstern and thus
became part of the chained library of the Dominican Convent of
Basel.
