More about the Condition
The exact height of the bifolium in its original condition cannot be known because it was trimmed to match the size of the host volume. The measurement given is that of the height of the bifolium in its current condition but according to its original orientation. It should be noted that the bottom margin of this bifolium measures 60 mm.

More about the Current Condition
As can be seen in the photos, a piece has torn (ff. iiv and iiir) in the original bifolium, which has been reinforced for the sake of stability, making it seem like a separate item.

Content Description
Underlined lemmata from Giles of Corbeil's poem correspond to the following verses: "spissus in urina", "purpureus spissus", "Insinuat sensus", "si formam causon", "si niger extiterit", "Non residens ampulla"; cf. the copy of Gilbertus' commentary in Vat.lat.2453, ff. 211vb and 212va.
Host Volume
Title
Logical Miscellany:
(1) Radulphus Brito, Quaestiones super Porphyrium, ff. 1r-34v;
(2) Radulphus Brito, Quaestiones super librum Praedicamentorum, ff. 34v-50r;
(3) Radulphus Brito, Quaestiones super librum Perihermeneias, ff. 53r-65r;
(4) Anonymus, Commentarium cum quaestionibus super Isagoge et Praedicamenta, ff. 69r-79v;
(5) Philippus de Ferraria, Expositio in logicam Petri Hispani, ff. 80ra-108vb.
Date of Origin/Publication
The codex contains two manuscripts. The first (ff. 1r-79v) dates to the mid 14C, as confirmed by the watermarks in the paper (cf. Briquet no. 4595 and 4597). The second, containing an exposition of the logic of Petrus Hispanus by Philippus de Ferraria, dates to the late 13C.
Place of Origin/Publication
The codex is Italian in origin. Given the presence of texts by Radulphus Brito, whose philosophy was thought to be amenable to that of Thomas Aquinas, together with the commentary by the Dominican Philippus de Ferraria, it seems probable that this book is the product of the educational milieu of Italian Dominicans, but there is no firm evidence to support this supposition.
