Codex 25, a paper manuscript from the middle of the 15th century,
consists of two separate codicological textual units. The first
contains an average quality copy (and selection) of the most
important and earliest work of the Dominican Johannes Herolt, known
as “Discipulus” (d. 1468): De eruditione Christifidelium. The
second textual unit was written in 1455 by the scribe Franciscus de
Gallandia from Yvonand. It goes by the title Fabulae moralizatate
and consists of 122 Latin fables taken from various sources from
antiquity, presented in the form of dialogs. Magninus Mediolanensis
(d. 1376) and Nicolaus Pergamenus are identified as the authors.
Beginning with the first print edition (1480) the Fabulae
moralizatae were re-named Dialogus creaturarum optime moralizatus.
