Copy of the commentary on the first twelve books of Artistotle’s
Metaphyiscs by the philosopher Nicholas Theoderici of Amsterdam
(† before 1456 in Greifswald), completed on 21 May 1459 (fol.
203v). Following the text, there is a table of contents on fol.
204r−205r. According to the note of ownership on fol. 209v (Liber
monasterii sancti Galli), this volume probably was part of the
Abbey Library of St. Gall around 1500. Prior to that the volume
probably was held in Eastern Switzerland, as suggested by notes on
fol. 1r (naming Wernher Müntzmaister; Jakob Grübel; Albert von
Glarus). From 1422 on, Theoderici was professor of the theological
faculty at the universities of Rostock, Leipzig and Greifswald; it
has been verified that in the 15th century there were students from
St. Gall in Leipzig.
