- Title:
- Pseudo-Joachim of Fiore, De oneribus prophetarum
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains Pseudo-Joachim of Fiore, De oneribus prophetarum. This commentary on the Old Testament prophets is preceded by a letter purporting to be from Joachim, founder and abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Fiore (d. 1202) to Emperor Henry VI, and the work was therefore wrongly attributed to him. This volume was originally bound with an Anglo-Saxon miscellany, now Cotton MS Tiberius B V/1.
Decoration: Circular diagrams and tables in red and brown (ff. 1r-3v, 12); genealogical diagrams in red and brown (ff. 13v-27v).
