[Boethius , De consolatione philosophiae, cum Commento novo de Phillipo Iadrensi, O.P.] , fols. 13r-82v .
14th-15th c.; Italian; parchment; 35.0 X 24.0 cm; 84 fols.
The text of Boethius was copied in the fourteenth century in a gothic textual hand; the commentary by Phillip of Zara, O.P., written in the bottom margins in a hybrid script with humanist features, was added to the manuscript sometime after 1484. Phillip's commentary makes a metrical paraphrase of the prose parts of Boethius's Consolation. A marginal drawing on fol. 24r depicts the Wheel of Fortune (plate 3).
