According to an ownership seal this parchment manuscript was
completed before 1318. Scribe and place of origin are unknown. It
contains commentaries in Latin by the Dominican Albertus Magnus
(ca. 1200-1280) on the six foundation texts of medieval instruction
in logic. Their wording was altered during the 14th century using a
text handed down by a separate tradition, familiar today mainly
through Italian Renaissance manuscripts. The resulting hybrid text,
with good, though often singular, textual variations, is of
particular importance for the edition of these commentaries. The
manuscript has been held by the Schaffhausen Bibliotheca Publica in
the Church of St. Johann since 1589.
