Title:
Grammatical treatise
Subject:
Treatise; 15th century; Greek
Description:
Free Library of Philadelphia, Lewis E 235b. Constantinople?, Possibly written in the scriptorium of Saint John the Baptist Petra Monastery (Prodromos Petra Monastery) in Constantinople (Kavrus-Hoffman); first half 15th century. This manuscript is a palimpsest, in which a grammatical treatise was written in Greek cursive with no decoration in the fifteenth century on leaves from an earlier manuscript. The previous text, mostly not legible, was a late thirteenth- or early fourteenth-century copy of Ad correctionem eorum qui virtuose vivunt, by the fourth-century theologian Ephrem the Syrian, written in Greek minuscule (Kavrus-Hoffman). The lower, older text is perpendicular to the upper text. Three leaves of the older manuscript were used as bifolia and are sewn into a gathering with no binding.

Subject:
Treatise; 14th century; 15th century
Description:
Historical Medical Library of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, 10a 210. Spain or southern France, 14th century or circa 1400. This manuscript is a fourteenth-century or very early fifteenth-century copy of Arnaldus de Villanova's guide to health for James II, King of Aragon from 1291 to 1327, on topics such as bathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. This guide, referred to in the manuscript both as Liber de conservatione sanitatis and Regimen generale (fols. 1r-26r), is followed by the much briefer Regimen speciale (fols. 26r-28v), which, unlike the main text, mostly consists of recipes. The text is written in two columns of a rounded Gothic script with the start of chapters marked by alternating red and blue initials.
