Summary

This manuscript is a collection of treatises, mostly in dialogue form, including Maffeo Vegio's Philalethes (probably the latest work in the collection, no earlier than the second quarter of the fifteenth century); a dialogue between an English and a French soldier; Nicole Oresme's De moneta; Jordanus von Osnabrück's De imperio; and a dispute between a cleric and a soldier, an anonymous work of the late thirteenth century. The manuscript was copied in this form by the priest Johannes Verscane, possibly in Germany, between the second and fourth quarters of the fifteenth century. These treatises were likely removed from a larger manuscript, as the first leaf is a singleton with a catchword pointing to the first full quire beginning with the second leaf.
