Consilia by Pietro degli Ubaldi, Angelo degli Ubaldi ... [et al.] interspersed throughout the manuscript. Foliation: 150 numbered leaves, plus preliminary leaves and blanks (162 leaves in all). Script: Written in a single unidentified hand, with a few marginal notes in another hand. Layout: Arranged in carefully ruled double columns, written in light brown and dark brown ink, with some rubrication in the first leaves but very little after fol. 76. The formulas, or extracts, are numbered (not very correctly) in Roman numerals, and run from I to CLXXXVI (186). At the end of each extract the name of the author has been entered in large, bold letters. Origin: Fol. 13v contains the specific date 26 July 1390, but it seems likely that the codex was not written before 1400. The watermarks in the paper suggest an early 15th-century origin, and there seems no reason to doubt that the paper was manufactured in northern Italy. Once belonged to the Marquis of Taccone, Italy (18th century), who gave it no. 41. Purchased by University of Chicago in 1891 from S. Calvary & Co. of Berlin.
