This manuscript is of particular interest because it appears to date from Gerson's lifetime and because the text of the Gerson works differs somewhat from that of the printed versions edited in the 1960's.
A detailed historical and textual discussion of this manuscript, written in May 1991 by Prof. Marvin Colker, Dept. of Classics at the University of Virginia, is on file in the Library.
