Digestum vetus cum Glossa ordinaria Accursii.

A very interesting late 13th or early 14th century copy of the Digestum with the famous glossa by Accursius, also known as Glossa Ordinaria. The text was written in Italy, possibly Bologna, and glossed somewhere in Southern France. Occasionally, we can recognize a later English hand (mid 15th century) that wrote several tiny notes in the outer margins. The text for D.1.8 and D 1.9 is wanting between fol. 6 and 7. Throughout the manuscript is visible a large number of grotesques and probationes calami with human heads, human bodies, real and fantastic animals, drawn in a surprisingly accurate way in pen, possibly by the scribe himself. The text of the Digestum and the Glossa Ordinaria are both surrounded with later additions and notes (marginal ones and interlinear ones) by various hands
