Summary:
Manuscript 510 is a collection of twenty theological and
philosophical writings, roughly divisible in three major sections.
The first section includes non-Western philosophy, with the first
two texts being works of Avicenna (980-1037), an Islamic scholar.
Of these, the first (ff. 1v-37v) is Avicenna's commentary on the
sixth book of Aristotle's De naturalibus. This book is also known
individually as De anima. A later (possibly 14th-century) hand has
used the originally empty f. 1v for a table of contents. The second
text (ff. 37v-54r) is Avicenna's Logica. Both texts have been
translated in the twelfth century by the Jewish philosopher
Avendauth, working in Toledo. His dedicatory letter to the
archbishop of the city, that accompanies the De anima, is found on
f. 2r. The third text (ff. 54r-55v), called De unitate et uno, has
traditionally been attributed to Boethius, but is now believed to
have been written by the twelfth-century philosopher Dominicus
Gundissalinus. This scholar was also Toledan, a colleague of
Averdauth, and an important translator of Aristotelian texts. The
fourth text (ff. 55v-61r), containing the De definitionibus, has
similarly been ascribed to Boethius in this manuscript. In reality,
the author is the fourth century Roman grammarian Gaius Marius
Victorinus. The second section of this manuscript includes texts
from important theologians. The fifth (ff. 62r-118r) and sixth (ff.
118r-119r) text are both copies of Ambrose of Milan's Hexameron,
discussing the Creation in six days. The former is the complete
text, the latter just a fragment. The section is also closed by one
of Ambrose's writings, De Cain et Abel (ff. 153r-170r). In between
there are five shorter works by Hugh of Saint-Victor (d. 1141) an
important pre-Thomist scholastic theologian and a prolific writer.
Consequently these are (ff. 120r-128r) Explicatio in Canticum
beatae Mariae; (ff. 128r-140r) De virginitate beatae Mariae; (ff.
140v-142v) De septem vitiis; (ff. 142v-150r) De oratione dominica;
and (ff. 150r-152r) De septem donis Spiritus Sancti. The third
section consists of Western philosophy, and commences (ff.
171r-204v) with De ortu sive divisione scientiarum by the Dominican
scholar Robertus Kilwardby (ca. 1200-1279). Following a few pages
(ff. 204v-206r) of short treatises on a variety of subjects, five
sophismata are found; sentences that are ambiguous in logic or
grammar, and whose meaning and validity is based on the
interpretation of the sentence. In order, these are (ff. 207r-209r)
Sophisma de specie intelligibili; (ff. 210r-212v) Sophisma: Logica
est scientia; (ff. 212v-214r) Sophisma Vtrum genus possit salvari
in una specie; (ff. 214r-223v) Sophisma: Sorte nichil sciente scit
aliquid; and (ff. 223v-226r) Sophisma Vtrum genus significet unam
naturam vel plures. The first, third and final sophismata were
authored by Bartholomaeus de Brugis (ca. 1285-1356); the fourth by
Johannes de Gottinga (ca. 1280-1349). The latter presents an
intriguing piece of information, stating that the sophisma was
originally written in 1305. This is a terminus post quem for this
unit of the codex. The final work in the codex (ff. 227r-237r) is
Henricus of Ghent's Syncategoremata, discussing words that are not
subjects or predicates in proposition Codicologically the codex
holds six units, of which the first was written in the thirteenth
century, and the others in the fourteenth (but not as a unity). As
such, the layout of each unit is different from the others. The
first unit, containing the first four texts, are written in a neat
textualis, with continuous presence of paragraph marks in red and
blue ink, elaborate initials at the beginning of each text and
penwork initials for separate books. The second unit, containing
the two copies of the Hexameron, is written in a rounder textualis
script, leaning somewhat more towards a hybrid form with the Gothic
cursive script. Decoration is absent, although spaces have been
reserved for initials. Not only these two texts belong to this
unit, this is also the case with De Cain et Abel (ff. 153r-170r).
The third unit, with the texts of Hugh of Saint-Victor, is written
in a highly similar hand. Unlike the previous unit, here a handful
of decorated initials are found, such as at the beginning of the De
virginitate. The fourth unit, containing Kilwardby's treatise and
the varia, is written in a fast and less posed textualis script,
reminiscent of documentary script. Red ink is present at the
beginning, but restricted to highlighting certain majuscules and a
few crudely drawn initials. The fifth unit, consisting of the
sophismata, is written in a neat hybrid script, without any
decoration, although again with spaces having been reserved for
initials. The sixth unit, the Syncategoremata, is written in a
textualis script, but has abundant decoration: red ink is used for
initials, paragraph marks and for highlighting majuscules. The
binding is medieval and consists of full brown leather over wooden
boards. The fenestra has survived and is attached to the back
board. Traces of clamps and mounds survive. The codex was
originally owned by the Ter Doest abbey, 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
