Summary
This is a manuscript from Eastern Germany or Poland, written in 1454, which contains Bonaventure's Commentary on Book II of Peter Lombard's Sentences. The major and minor text divisions are marked by one- to five-line red ink initials, with some of the larger initials having terminals ending in foliage serifs. There are running headings on verso in black and the guide letters for the decorator are visible beside or inside the initials. Some quires are supported along the inner margin by strips of parchment containing musical notation either on the inside or the outside of the quire. There is extensive marginalia in contemporary hands.
