  • De febribus. [Latine versus a Constantino Africano.] Written in double column of 30 lines to a column. Capitals, paragraph marks and headings in red.

    Fol. 1 [O] te fili Karissime iohannes lacri/mas mesto cordis dolore/perpetim effundere perspexi./... col. 2 (Text begins) [L]iber iste in v diuiditur partes. prime est de essentia febris/et eius diffinitione... f.71v ... propter sanguinem/qui est eius materia et propter uicinitatem cordis.//Explicit liber febrium ysa/ac. amen.

    This is followed for the rest of this column, the whole of the next column and half of fol. 72, by a note on plague by a later hand beginning 'Causa pestilencie est/aer putridus et corruptus...', and ending 'in corde et in aliis membris principalibus'. [Cf. Thorndike Catalogue of Incipits. Col. 89, and Singer 'Catalogue of Plague Texts'. No. 48.]

    There are marginal notes in Latin by several contemporary and later hands-the same as those in MS. No. 369. [Isaac Judaeus.].

  • This treatise was first printed as part of the Author's 'Opera omnia' at Lyons in 1515. On fol. 36v the name 'Loke Boyn' followed by a word which may be 'Lydys' or 'Cydys'. The MS. is almost certainly written by an English scribe, and originally formed part of the same volume as MS. No.369.
  • Book-plate of Sir Henry Hope Edwardes [1829-1900], and Library-label of George Dunn [-1912], with a pencilled date (June 1901), initials and note 'English work' on a fly-leaf. Sold at Christies 20/5/1901.
  • Purchased at Sotheby's (Dunn Sale), 13/2/1913, Lot 540.
