Description
  • This manuscript contains the Etymologiae (Etymologies), also known as Origenes (Origins), by Isidore of Seville (b. c. 560, d. 636). This is an encyclopedic work that discusses the origin of words related to the liberal arts and a vast range of other subjects. The manuscript appears to have been preserved at an English university college and used for study during the 15th century, as is indicated by the marginal annotations in Latin and English throughout the manuscript. Contents:ff. 1r-1v: Letter of Braulio (b. 590, d. 651), Bishop of Zaragossa, to Isidore, imperfect, beginning ‘et si qua superflua . si qua negligentur’. f. 1v: Letter of Isidore to Braulio, beginning ‘Item Isidorus braulioni’. ff. 1v-224r: Isidore of Seville, Etymologiae (with a preface addressed to Braulio, and a table of contents for each book). The manuscript contains a number of additions:f. 224v: A list of the Kings of England, from Alfred the Great (r. 871-899) to Henry VII (r. 1485-1509), with a reference to Brutus as the first king of England, added in the 15th century. f. 225v: The verse epitaph of Cædwalla (r. 685/6-689), King of Wessex, partially legible (‘[...] Culmen opes sobolem pollencia regna triumphos / Exuvias proceres menia castra lares / Queque patrum virtus et que congessarat [sic] ipse / Cadwal armipotens liquit amore die’, added in the 15th century. f. 225v: A list of the Kings of England (‘Nomina regum Anglie’), listing kings from William I (r. 1066-1087) to Henry VII (r. 1485-1509), added in the 15th century. [f. 225r is empty].Decoration:Two full-page diagrams drawn in red ink: f. 109v: A Tree of Consanguinity ( Arbor Consanguinitatis ). f. 110r: A circular diagram containing a consanguinity chart.
