[Trinity] General discussion of Trinity College MS O.2.48 Apuleii Herbarium

[MarcoP]

Collins says a few things about the MS, also suggesting a german origin, and listing it in the same group as the two Plutei herbals, group β . 
Apparently it is included in the standard work by Grape-Albers but I haven't seen that.

Harley 4896, which I mentioned above, is listed in different groups by different authors.

Minta Collins discusses the ms at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. of "Medieval Herbals. The Illustrative Traditions" (2000). If I understand correctly, she believes that the ms was made in Germany and derives from a hypothetical edition of the Pseudo-Apuleius also made in Germany and commissioned by Fredrick II. Orofino does not seem to be convinced of Collins' idea, but I don't know if (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) she believes the ms was made in Southern Italy, instead of being indirectly derived from Southern Italian sources that would have been accessible to Frederick II.
