Tractatus de Virtutibus, 1400 - 1499
Abstract
This manuscript is a short treatise on the virtues, on paper, comprising two gatherings, perhaps once part of a large volume. The text was written closely, rapidly, and roughly; unruled and with a varying number of lines; and with numerous abbreviations, crossings out, and marginal insertions and corrections. Trimming has resulted in some losses to marginal notes.
