At the head of [a1r] of this item, a cropped contemporary manuscript title, similar to that in other items. Early marginal annotations in a fifteenth/sixteenth-century German hand, probably in the same hand as those in item 1, and perhaps also that of the manuscript additions on blank leaves following items 1 and 6 and on the last blank page of item 4. On the blank leaf d8r of item 1, part of an Expositio orationis dominicae: ‘Super verba “Et ne nos inducas in tempta[tionem]”. Non ut simpliciter non temptemur . . .’, followed by a note on the apparition of Jerome after his death to Augustine: ‘Mortuo beato Jeronimo . . .’; on d8v: ‘De Meditatione creaturarum. Meditatio est frequens cogitatio . . .’ On [a6v] of item 4, an account of the anti-Semitic trial concerning Simon Tridentinus: ‘In facto Judeorum Triden[tinorum] puerum interfectum quidam ex eisdem Judeis in tortura ut subscribitur confessus est. Interrogatus Quid faciunt ipsi Judei de dicto sanguine . . .’ On [a7v] of item 6, ‘Ex libello de Moribus. Hinc bene precipiebatur a Socrate ut adolescens in speculo . . .’; on [a1r] of item 7, a note on the four Sundays in Advent: ‘Quatuor dominicis proximis ante festum natale . . .’; on the verso, ‘Formula bene viuendi. Studium cuiuslibet religiosi ut scilicet viuat in obediencia . . .’ The similarity of the titles and notes suggests that most of the items were travelling together long before the book received its present binding.
Provenance: Johannes Sphyractes (1508-1578); on a2r of item 1, ‘Sum Joannis Sphyractae Basiliensis et amicorum’.

Provenance: Item 6 is a British Museum duplicate, old shelfmark C. 2436; probably sold at the duplicate sale in 1788. Items 7 and 9 were listed in 1738 in Fysher, Catalogus, I 52 and I 609 with the shelfmark BB 8 Med.; the same two items were probably listed in Hyde, Catalogus (1674), I 31 and I 349 (but with date as 1554), with the shelfmark M 6.3 Art.; in James, Catalogus (1620), 24, item 9 is listed with the shelfmark M 6.3 Art.; on p. 15: ‘Tres algorismi cum proportionum vel mercatorum regula M 6.3′; the latter reference probably refers jointly to items 7, 8, and 9 in this volume; James, Catalogue (1605), 286 refers to ‘M. Aniani Compotus cum Com. 1503. Q[uaere] M 5.3′; it therefore seems probable that items 7, 8, and 9 were in the Bodleian Library by 1620 and possibly already by 1605.

The front and rear parchment pastedowns are consecutive folios from a thirteenth-century English manuscript of Bonifacius VIII, Liber Sextus; this identification may be inferred from the points at which the texts identified below break off and resume. The left-hand side of the face-up front pastedown is from Sext, De rescriptis, that is, title 3 of book 1: 1.3.12 (inc. ‘Tibi gratiam’), 1.3.13 (inc. ‘Si pro te’), 1.3.14 (inc. ‘Duobus super provisione’), 1.3.15 (inc. ‘Quia per ambitiosam’). The right-hand side contains Sext 1.6.17 (inc. ‘Fundamenta’) from the words ‘quod nemo aliud’ to ‘digne itaque’. The rear pastedown contains, on the left-hand side, Sext 1.3.11, section 1 (inc. ‘Statutum’, although this is cut out); the right-hand side contains a later part of Sext 1.6.17, from the words ‘Quod si secus factum fuerit’ to ‘etiam si praedictorum principum’. The only glossing to these texts contains Casus, which do not appear to be the same as those of Johannes Andreae’s apparatus to the Liber Sextus; the only gloss to have survived here in its entirety is that to ‘Quia per ambitiosam’, beginning ‘Casus. Dominus Papa Bonifacius VIII omnes indulgentias et privilegia a domino Bonifacio et suis predecessoribus concessas . . .’ Also regulations concerning the award of prebends at Béziers (Biterrensis).
Early marginal notes in two different hands, the first only in gathering a, the second throughout. Occasional marginal notes in other hands. A few pen-trials on a1r.
Provenance: On a1r erased note of ownership(?). John Page (fl. 1497-1511); on back pastedown: ‘mihi Joanni Page pertinet teste gylpurne’. Christopher (fl. 1498-1501), chaplain of New College, Oxford; on front and back pastedowns, drawings of a heart with name ‘Cristoferus’. On a1r the arms of New College drawn in pen-and-ink.

Provenance: Joseph Niesert (1766-1841); sale (1842), lot 14132.

Variant setting of gatherings a and b, as Pellechet, Polain, and GW Anm., not as BMC.
Binding: Late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century Italian (from Emilia or the Marches?) binding in Mudéjar style; dark brown goatskin over wooden boards with a very slight outward bevel. Blind-tooled. Two clasps, secured by three nails arranged in a triangle, hinge on the upper cover. Rectangular brass catches with three nicks on each side and four at the top, secured by four nails. Light brown edges. Double dark green and pale brown headbands, sewn diagonally. Sewn on four thongs. Head and tail of spine repaired (a line of small S–tools across the head and tail may be part of this repair). A line of larger S–tools inside two lines across the first and fifth compartment; the others have a horizontal decoration of lines and small quatrefoils. Pastedown and three endleaves at the front; pastedown and two endleaves at the end; a third cut out leaving stub; the pair of endleaves nearest the text at each end unopened at the head; no watermark visible. The pattern is of Mudéjar inspiration; see Henry Thomas, Early Spanish bookbindings (London, 1929), pls XLI, XLII and, for the central ‘cross’, pl. XXXI; but the technique is feeble by comparison with genuine Mudéjar work and the tools are all of common Italian types. The clasps hinge on the upper cover in the normal Italian manner. Broxb. 31.14 and related bindings are evidence of a Spanish craftsman or craftsmen at work in Emilia or the Marche c.1490. This volume may have been bound by an Italian imitating one of the Spaniard’s bindings.
Size: 246 × 171 × 71 mm.
Size of leaf: 234 × 170 mm.
Front endleaves contain a prayer in Latin, incipit: ‘Angula(!) deus in nomine tuo saluum me fac et virtute’; a religious poem of 17 lines in Italian, incipit: ‘Jo sono in vita deli cristiani fideli’; and seven diary entries in Italian from 1512, listing calamities.
Decoration: On a1r a six-line initial ‘A’ is supplied in red with purple pen-work vine-stem infill, expanding into inner margin as a foliate scroll ending in pen fleurons in inner and upper margins. Three- to seven-line initials are supplied in red or blue, with many initials covering small manuscript guide-letters in black ink. Paragraph marks are supplied in red or blue.
Provenance: Bartholomeus (fl. 1510), son of Johannes, son of Petrus, of Santa Maria Villiana; inscription on the front endleaf: ‘Iste liber est mei bartolemei quondam johannis &pipe; olim petri scardatie(?) de sancta maria Villiana &pipe; comunis africi comitatus bon[oniensis] qui emtus fuit &pipe; in anno nativitatis M quinquagenteximo 10 die 25 aprilis.’ Albert Ehrman (1890-1969); purchased from Davis & Orioli, 22 Mar. 1950 for £60.
