With: (2) [IDEM]. Curis boum epithoma ex diversis auctoribus.
Naples, [ca. 1470-1490]. 2 works in 1 volume. Small folio (28.5 x 19 cm). Illuminated manuscript on paper, written by the scribe Ippolito da Luna. Refined 16th-century foliation in Arabic numerals to upper right corners, beginning with the title-leaf. Ruled in light brown ink for 28 lines per page, written in dark brown ink in a meticulous and very experienced Roman humanist hand by a scribe who identifies himself in the colophon as Hippolytus Lunesis. Index and table of contents from fol. 112 added later by an experienced 16th-century scribe. Catchwords throughout. Justification: 18.5 x 14 cm, rubrics in red, each paragraph introduced by a red two-line Lombard. Watermark: a ram's head/skull with eyes and ears in a circle throughout, not identified (not recorded in Piccard). Contemporary annotations in Latin, manicula in the margins and at the end of the manuscript, perhaps by a 16th-century hand, apparently modifications and additions by a practicing veterinarian; a few annotations by the very erudite scribe himself, some of them with textual conjectures and amendments to the text of the model. Pagination in upper right added together with the table of contents from fol. 112v to lower pastedown by a very experienced scribe, possibly dating from the 16th century, added by a later owner. Original, contemporary dark brown calf over wooden boards with blind tooling, roll-stamp decoration and ornamental gold stamps from the workshop of Masone di Maio (Naples), three raised bands, with the title lettered in gold on the front board. Stored in custom cloth box with a morocco spine label lettered in gold. 113 [of 114] ll. Full description
