Hands
Gothic hybrida, written by Iohannes de Indagine apart from fols. 322r–347v (which he annotates).
Decoration
Occasional rubricated headings or red underlining.
Binding
Contemporary, bound in leather over wooden boards, ruled with blind-stamped floral and fleur-de-lis designs. MS. Hamilton 57 has an identical binding, to which MS. Hamilton 54 is a companion volume. The binding of MS. Hamilton 49 uses similar design elements. Paper labels on upper board, Varii tractatuli spirituales et pro fide and H·61· (matching the Salvatorberg register, ed. P. Lehmann, Mittelalterliche Bibliothekskataloge. Deutschland und die Schweiz, vol. 2, p. 400). One clasp, now lacking. Leather rose-coloured tabs attached to the opening of each work in the volume.
Acquisition
Presented to the Bodleian Library by his sons and received in 1857.
Provenance
Erfurt, Charterhouse of Salvatorberg: H·61· (label on the upper board) in its medieval catalogue; Hic liber est fratrum Carthusiensium prope Erffordiam. (inside upper board). While the book was assembled here, colophons indicate that some parts were originally written in other locations. The compiler of the register is closely familiar with the volume’s contents, recounting its contents more expansively than the rubrics.
Friedrich Gottlieb Julius von Bülow, 1760–?1831, possibly no. 300 in the catalogue of part 3 of his sale, 10 Oct. 1836.
Sir William Hamilton, 1788–1856
