- Summary:
- 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).
