Manuscript leaf from Diaeta salutis, 1300s.

Small leaf from the Diaeta salutis, Titulus secundus (De poenitentia et eius partibus), Capitula VII (De eleemosyna), commonly attributed to Saint Bonaventure. Probably written in Italy in 34-35 long lines in a small Gothic hand with rubrication of paragraphs and much abbreviation. One edge trimmed with loss of text; at the other edge pricking is visible. On the verso, "Bertramus" is written in pencil in one margin; at the top, a later hand has written in ink an aphorism from Juvenal's sixth satire, "Intolerabilius nihil est quam femina dives" (Nothing is more intolerable than a rich woman).

1 item (1 leaf) : parchment ; 149 x 100 mm.
