[split] EVA-y as Latin "-us" etc.

[Helmut Winkler]

VViews.

f. 1r is a special case.

But I will give you an example, f. 9r, line 10 (because it is short and I was looking at it this afternoon)

cum [EVA t] cca2 o2 aui[cenna]  cc[EVA k]cum(?)2

This needs some explanation, of course. We know that Medieval scribes used  abbr. as tachygraphy, there are better examples from the 16th c. e.g. the Tischgespräche of  Martin Luther.  One of te peuliarities of the V. scribe is, that he leaves off abbr. strokes. I think thee 'gallows' are sigla. I think EVA t is an M and EVA k an N (I am not do sure of that). Albertus is A., de  vegetabilibus, Avicenn, the Canon, book 2, Simplicia, Mesue not M. senior, but filius, Ps. Mesue or Grabadin or one of the other related works like the Antidotarium Magnum

That gives us

cum/with M[esue] contra/against this a[lbertus] Auicenna contra [N......]cum(?)2

I think my reading is correct, I am not so sure of all of my interpretation, I am checking some evidence, whih means some of this is premature.

I surly don't mind strong comment and the administrators moving this somewhere else
