[BONAVENTURE on LOMBARD'S SENTENCES]
Half-leaf from Bonaventure's commentary on Peter Lombard's Sentences, in Latin, decorated manuscript on vellum
[Low Countries (probably Belgium)
second half of 13th century]
Bonaventure (1221-74) was, perhaps, the most celebrated Italian scholastic theologian, as well as a Master at the University of Paris, Minister-General of the Franciscan Order and Cardinal-Bishop of Albano. He was canonised in 1482, and pronounced a 'Doctor of the Church' in 1588. The text here comes from Liber 4, Distinctio 12, Quaestio 3, of his vast commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard. It was composed in the 1250s, with this witness perhaps written within the author's lifetime
Bottom half of a leaf, with double column of 23 lines remaining in a squat and angular university hand, much abbreviated, paraph marks in red and blue, small initials in same, margins with trailing penwork from these initials, some folds, small spots and stains, else good condition, 150 by 225mm; plus a bifolium from an early printed liturgical work in Dutch and Latin on vellum, once split horizontally, but now rejoined
