Summary:
Manuscript 522, dating from the fourteenth century, is a composite
manuscript. It was owned by Ter Doest Abbey. The manuscript
contains didactic and theoretical treatises on celestial bodies.
The document is richly illustrated technical illustrations: tables,
geometric figures, drawings of instruments. It contains three
treatises by Johannes de Sacrobosco (d. 1256): De sphaera, Computus
Ecclesiasticus and Algorismus. A fourth treatise De compositione et
utilitate astrolabii explains the working of an astrolabe. Folios
61v-62r contain detailed drawings of astrolabes. The work has been
ascribed to the astronomer Mashallah ibn Athari (d. 820) and was
translated by John of Seville (c. 1120/53-). The document also
contains the treatise by Robertus Anglicus (c. 1250/71): Expositio
quadrantis. Theorica planetarum is a text dealing with the study of
the movement of celestial bodies, written by an anonymous author.
Furthermore, the composite manuscript also contains De motu octavae
sphaerae by Thabit ibn Qurra (836 - 901), also a study on the
celestial bodies. Lastly, it contains a treatise on the
ecclesiastical calendar by Balduinus de Marrochio (13th century).
