Reconstruction Summary

Large-format bifolium from a manuscript of Dioscorides that was probably produced in Fleury. Other parts of it are conserved in Paris, BnF, lat. 9332. The script and decoration display Insular characteristics. This fragment came to Bern in 1632 as part of the bequest of Jacques Bongars.
