It was often bundled together with other texts and expanded upon, as in the 15th century manuscript I linked to above.
Hi David,
Scot died in the early 13th century: either he is not the author or the text is much earlier.
Also, by browsing through the manuscript, it seems that it is made of several independent parts, which likely were written by different authors. The text of the zodiac section You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (f.5r) is sometimes attributed to Johannes Regiomontanus, but that cannot be right, since the manuscript clearly is earlier.
Mysteries everywhere
Anyway, it's a great manuscript and the images of the planetary gods at the bottom of the zodiac pages are quite nice. Thank you for pointing it out!

Not many answers, though...
