Two hands, writing smalland highly abbreviated Gothic scripts; the latter,on fols. 6v-7v, in brown ink, is a very compressedand rapid cursive. There is space for initials at theopening of each Quaestio, but they were not executed(guide-letters in the first section). Otherwise nodecoration. The rubric at the beginning of the text ismissing. Preserved in a green portfolio.A SHORT BUT INTERESTING SCHOLASTICMANUSCRIPT, in typical compact Gothic script,containing a text ascribed to one of the foremost philosophersof the Middle Ages.Content. The four philosophical questions,all opening with the words “Questio est”, are thefollowonig: “Utrum scientia creata possit esse inmediatumprincipium alicuius operacionis”; “Utrumcaritas sive aliquis habitus vel qualitas vel aliqua forma accidentalis possit augeri secundum essentiam”; “Utrumidem sit augeri caritatem secundum substantiam et secundum virtutem”; “Utrum scienta Dei possit dici practica”.A hand of about 1500 has added in the margins numerous references to works of Aristitle and his commentators:Physics, Metaphysics, Periermeniae, Ethics, De generatione, etc.Giles of Rome, to whom the four hitherto unidentified Quaestiones are attributed, is one of the greatest philosophersand most prolific writers of the Middle Ages. He was born in Rome but became an Augustinian hermitin Paris, taught at the University of Paris, and was made archbishop of Bourges in 1295. Next to his philosophicalwritings, he is best known for his treatise De regimine principum (‘On the government of princes’), which he wrotefor his pupil, the later king Philip the Fair.On the life and works of Giles of Rome, as well as on the census of his manuscripts, see Aegidii RomaniOpera omnia, F. Del Punta, G. Fioravanti & C. Luna, Florence, from 1987 onward.Provenance. A hand of the 18 th century has carelessly written in the margins numbers and notes in Italianand Latin; amongst these the name “Fortiguerra” and the beginning of a letter “Paulina mia”. € 13.800,00Gregory the Great’s Moralia In Job in the Italian translation by Zanobi Da Strada2) GREGORIUS MAGNUS SANCTUS (540-604). [Morali di Santo Gregorio papa sopra il libro di Job,Libri I-IX]. Manuscript on paper, in Italian. North East Italy (Veneto area), written by a Zuane di Zane(quondam Simon) in 1474.Folio (mm 332x230); solid half leather over bevelled wooden boards, spine with three double raised bands (recased);186 leaves (out of 190, lacking the first blank and leaves 3, 6 and 9, otherwise complete).Incipit (acephalous): “ellevamento di contemplatione…” (l. 2r); Explicit (written in red ink): “Finito il librodecimo de moralli de sancto gregorio papa sopra il Job. Scripto per mi zuane de zane zoielier condam simon et chili lezerano priegi dio per lo scriptore MCCCCLXXIII” (l. 190v).Text on two columns, plummet ruling. Written in a minuscule ‘hybrida libraria’ in bistre and red ink.With hundreds of calligraphic initials in red and blue, and 8 (out of 10, 2 being accurately excised) beautiful capitalletters illuminated in colors and burnished gold. Most of the majuscules filled in yellow. The manuscript looks veryenjoyable thanks to the variety of colored inks employed by the copyst, and the reading is also easy.Gregory the Great, pope from 590 to 604, is one of the most prominent figure in the history of the RomanChurch. He wrote many works, but the 35 books which form the Moralia in Job, are certainly his most fruitful labour.The Moralia tied up for centuries important theologians as well as humble believers.Zanobi da Strada (1312-1361), a Florentine proto-humanist, schoolmaster and Latin poet, and a friend ofPetrarca and Boccaccio, was charged, around the mid 14th century, by Niccolò Acciaiuoli to translate the Moralia- 5 -
