This manuscript, written in a Gothic script, binds together three apparently unrelated works. One is a misogynist alphabet comprising quotations from classical and Biblical text. Another collects excerpts from Aristotle with marginal commentary. The volume is open to Petrarch's seven penitential psalms.
