Summary

Hybrid collection of school texts, including the Grecismus Cornutus, a treatise in Latin verse on Greek grammar and words similar to the Grecismus attributed to John of Garland, with numerous interlinear notes and perhaps metrical divisions (f. 12r-15v); a table of Greek letters and information on Greek diphthongs (f. 11r); and a heavily annotated printed edition of Rodolphus Agricola's Historia periucunda sanctissime matris Anne (Leipzig: Thanner, 1507; f. 1r-10r), with both interlinear and marginal notes. The title Grecismus Cornutus may refer to the 1st-century classical rhetorician and teacher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus.
