'LIBER Boecii de consolacione'; with commentary (anonymous). Imperfect, wanting a quire after f. 73 (beg. 'respicit rectus' in the comment on lib. iii, prosa 6, ends in the comment on lib. iii, vers. 9, l. 2), a quire after f. 81 (beg. 'Quoniam igitur, &c.' in the comment on lib. iii, prosa io, ends 'uertice destituto' in the text of prosa 11), a leaf after f. 138 (from 'presciencia est' in the comment on lib. v, prosa 5 to the end of the text of vers. 5), and some leaves at the end (breaks off 'non sequitur. Aliter' in the comment on lib. v, prosa 6, 11. 80-120 of Peiper's edition). Introduction beg. 'Boecius iste nobilissimus Romanus fide catholicus'; commentary, 'Carmina, &c.: Boecius tractaturus de philosophica consolatione primitus se ostendit talem'. The first few lines of the commentary will be found also in Harley MS. 2559.
Vellum; ff. 143. 91/4 in. x 61/4 in. XIV cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves, with catchwords (x, xii missing, xx imperfect). Sec. fol. 'tractandi est multiplex'. Illuminated border-initials, French style (ff. 2, 3); others in red and blue. The border on f. 2 has a blank shield for arms. Probably belonged to King's College, Cambridge, having an erased inscription (f. 1 b), which seems to begin 'Liber collegii regalis beate Marie . . .', but not in the 1452 inventory printed by M. R. James; afterwards to John Theyer (f. 75, 'Liber Iohannis Theyer de Coupershill iuxta Glouc. A.D. 1663, Iulii xvii', &c.). Theyer sale-cat. no. 171; CMA. 6612.
