ASTRONOMICAL TABLES calculated for Louvain in Flanders, with a treatise on Astrology, in Latin, viz.:
1. Mean motions, equations, &c., of the sun, moon and planets, and other tables; probably derived from the Alphonsine tables, but in an altered form. The mean motions, &c., are referred to 'radices' of time and place, viz. the Christian era and Louvain. The table of lunar conjunctions begins with 1345. Begins with 'Tabula medii motus octaue spere et augium' and ends with 'Tabula equacionis domorum ad lat. 51 gr.' f. 4.
2. Fragment, apparently of an astrological diary, showing positions of celestial bodies and in the margin notes of illnesses and personal memoranda, e.g. 'hic datus fuit mihi tutellus unus', 'questio de aduentu regis Almanie'. f. 29.
3. 'Introductorius Hyspalensis' (so colophon): the astrological work of Johannes Hispalensis, printed, but with considerable difference of text, at Nuremberg, 1548. Dated anno [domini ?] 1142. Beg. 'In nomine dei creatoris. Cinctura firmamenti in 12 equales distribuitur partes'. Ends with the last chapter but two of the edition 'bestiis eruptis'. f. 30.
4. Additions in a 15th cent. hand, viz. :-(a) 'Eleuatio equinocialis ad vnamquamque ciuitatum infrascriptarum et portio meridiana maioris diei in quacumque ipsarum sine quibus instrumenta acus ad horas inueniendas fieri non possunt' : latitudes of various cities in Spain, Italy, the Levant, France, &c. London's name occurs, but the figures are not filled in. f. 56;-(b) Names and position of a few fixed stars. f. 56 b.
5. Tables, partly cancelled, of 'eleuatio signorum' for latitudes 51o and 52o and some other tables. f. 57.
6. Canons for the use of astronomical tables, 'Ad habendum unum gradum ascendentem'. Beg. 'Primo notandum quod duplex est dies naturalis'. f. 61. The fly-leaves (ff. 1, 63, 64, 2, in that order) are two fragments (folio'd 297-8 and 303-4) from a 14th cent. MS. of the Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Voragine, containing part of the lives of SS. Clement, Katharine, and Saturninus.
Vellum; ff. 64. 9 in. x 6 in. XIV cent. Gatherinas (excl. flyleaves), art. 1, i-iii8; art. 2, single leaf; art. 3, i10, ii12, iii2; art. 4, single leaf; artt. 5, 6, i6. Initials in red and blue. Belonged (f. 3) to [John, Lord] Lumley. Lumley cat. f. 367 b; cat. of 1666, 20 ?; CMA. 8530 ?
