41. De summo bono
- Title:
- De summo bono
- Description:
- "De Summo Bono is a medieval text written by Isidore of Seville, a prominent Christian bishop and scholar who lived in the late sixth and early seventh centuries. The text is a philosophical and theological treatise on the nature of the highest good, which Isidore identifies as God. In the work, he draws upon classical and Christian philosophical traditions, including the works of Aristotle, Plato, and Augustine, to argue that the highest good can only be found through a deep understanding of God, and a commitment to a virtuous life. This edition of "De Summo Bono," printed by Ulrich Zell in Cologne around 1470, is significant as an early example of the printing press in Europe and a valuable historical artifact of medieval philosophy and theology. Preceded only by the Nuremberg edition of 1470."-- Freeman's Auction site.

44. English Pre-Reformation Genealogical Roll
- Title:
- English Pre-Reformation Genealogical Roll
- Description:
- A genealogical account of English Kings and Events from Ethelbert to Henry VI (England (Canterbury), ca. 1472-c. 1520?). The scroll is divided into seven columns. 1. The year (A.D.) 2. The 'Popes. 3. The kings of England. 4. The archbishops of Canterbury as well as events in English history. 5. The English Christian year. 6. The Dominical Letter. 7. The Golden Number. The first date is 597 and the last 1472, but the record ceases with the year 1435. The last entry in the English column is the death of John, Duke of Bedford. Rather surprisingly for an English Roll the names of the popes were not scored through at the time of the Reformation. The names on the genealogical tree have faded badly so that the majority are unreadable. Records include: 911 Foundation of the monastery of Cluny in Burgundy; 1346 Crecy; 1349 The Great Plague; 1316 Parliament at Nottingham. -- Maggs catalogue 960

- Identifier:
- Shelf Mark: Ms.Brown.Lat.1
- Extent:
- Genealogical roll on parchment; 9 membranes/skins attached by glue; measuring 7560 x 432 mm total (about 21 feet x 5 inches)
- Geographic Coverage:
- England
- Coordinates:
- 52.16045, -0.70312
- Additional Physical Characteristics:
- Written on 9 skins, in red and black, marginal border of hair-line stems and heavy bell-like flowers. 2.8 mm decorative borders adorn each side in multicolor pigments (pink, blue, green, red, yellow, and grey, with gold, silver, and brown detailing), with hair-line stems and heavy bell-like flowers. Vertical columns (including borders) are ruled in ink; pricking for horizontal ruling is visible at outer edges. Genealogical lines are generally drawn in red, with plain red circles around names, but additional green lines begin on membrane 6. These seem to indicate disruptions in lineage (starting around King Stephen). Text is written in black, brown, red, and occasionally green, generally in a fifteenth-century humanistic cursive, though date columns and a few early entries are in a gothic script. Another later hand titles the roll on the dorse edge of membrane 9. It would seem that the floral border, the column of dates, and the first few records (which are in Gothic letter) belong to the year 1472 and that the remainder (which is in italic script) was done at the beginning of the 16th century. No evidence of wood or other attachments for rolling; item was originally rolled top to bottom, as evidenced by titular label on the dorse of the bottom edge and patterns of damage. Significant mold, staining, and use-related damage exists, especially at membranes 6-9. Ink fading and damage to parchment significantly affects legibility from membrane 5 on, though some faded text is recoverable under UV light. Pigments of decorative floral borders are mostly in tact until membranes 7-9, and then show significant cracking, smudging, and flaking. Wrinkling, holes, and small tears occur throughout. Evidence of repairs may be observed, especially between membranes 8-9, where parchment has been used to stabilize significant tearing and deterioration at edges.

- Collection:
- Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Collection
- Provenance:
- The roll was donated to the University of Victoria in 1989 by Bruce and Dorothy Brown, who purchased it from Maggs Bros Ltd (London). It is unknown when Maggs acquired the roll. Markings on the top and bottom of the dorse side indicate it was once sold for 4 guineas (a currency discontinued in the UK in 1816) and later for £70.

- Description:
- A leaf from Pantheologia of Reynerus de Pisis. Includes the following description: 'A page from the Pantheologia of Reynerus de Pisis printed at Nuremburg by Anton Koberger in 1477. With the invention of moveable type in the middle of the fifteenth century, books were printed on paper and in unlimited quantity. These books printed before 1501, known as "incunabula", imitated the forms of contemporary manuscripts. Since readers were accustomed to the decoration of manuscripts, coloured initials were added to the printed page by hand.'
