Summary

Treatise on the seven deadly sins. Also includes a treatise on the nine laws of the Church, between the sections on superbia and invidia. After the last of the sections on the seven sins (luxuria) there is a treatise on I boti [i.e., voti]. The beginning of the manuscript, possibly an entire quire, is missing.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from spine.
   
• Each of the sections on the sins begins as follows: El secondo [terço, etc.] bitio [i.e., vitio] chapitale si chiama invidia [ira, etc.].
   
• The sections (Invidia, etc.) are indicated by headings in the upper right recto.
   
• The last treatise (I boti) begins immediately after the section on Luxuria, without paragraphing to mark the transition.
   
• Colophon (f. 61v): "Scritto per me Brunetto Daldobrandino et finito questo di XXIIIIo daprile MCCCCLV. a riverencia et honore diddio, et per sua gratia amen." It is possible that Brunetto D'Aldobrandino is the author of the text as well as the scribe.
   
• Owner's note (f. 1r): "Di Bartolomeo di Larione Martelli" (could possibly be an indication of authorship as well as ownership).
   
• Cover scratched and worn, particularly at edges and spine. Some leaves stained. A few wormholes and other damage.
   
• Bookdealer's description (Bernard Rosenthal) on file in the Library.
