Prefacio in itinerar[iu]m, seu, Peregrinat[i]o[ne]m B[ea]te Virginis [et] Dei genetricis Marie

1 pp 1487

An unsigned and undated manuscript version of the Itinerarium Beatae Virginis Mariae apparently copied directly from an edition of the text printed ca. 1487 in Ulm by Johann Reger (ISTC ii00218700). Though the unidentified scribe of the present manuscript employs frequent abbreviation of words throughout, it otherwise follows the orthography and layout of the Reger edition closely. However, while the Reger edition is illustrated with a cycle of woodcuts showing various scenes from the life of Christ and of the Virgin, no images are included within the present manuscript. Instead, brief captions stand in for those images present between parts 1 and 2 and between parts 4 and 5 of the Reger edition. Consult content notes 3 and 7 in this record for a detailed description.

Prognostication manual

1 pp 1375

A manual of prognostication by means of astrology, astronomy, physiognomy, phlebotomy, meteorology, geomancy, and dice-casting, among other methods. Probably made for the use of a learned astrologer, this manuscript contains several works in the vernacular, including the only known complete copy of "You þat has castin iii sisses here..." (fol. 84v-87), a Middle English poem on divination by dice-casting (see Braekman and Ives).
