This Lucretius manuscript with the long didactic poem De rerum
natura is, based on its content, a descendant of the manuscript
which Poggio Braccolini discovered in a German monastery in 1417.
This manuscript was written in 1468-69, a few years before the text
appeared in print, by Antonius Septimuleius Campanus — according
to a note at the end of the text — while he was in prison in
Rome. At the latest by 1513, the manuscript was in the possession
of the humanist Bonifacius Amerbach from Basel.
