Abbreviations, anyone?

[R. Sale]

I know that the potential use of abbreviations has been an ongoing topic. Here is a manuscript with a particular part of the text noted for the use of abbreviations. Perhaps it is useful. Better to be redundant than silent.

Beromünster, Stiftskirche St. Michael, Ms. C 14

Paper · 265 ff. · 21 x 15 cm · Beromünster · second half of the 14th century / 15th century

Compendium morale de avibus / de quadrupedibus – Heinrich von Langenstein, De discretione spiritum – Johannes Gerson, Opus tripartitum de praeceptis Decalogi, de confessione, et de arte moriendi – Bonaventura, De praeparatione ad missam – Moralitates super evangelium sancti Lucae – Jacobus de Cessolis, De ludo scachorum (excerpts) – Sermon on Mary

Composite manuscript of catechetical-ascetic content, in quarto format on paper. Three fascicles of various strengths. The oldest is from the second half of the 14th century; it is written by Albert von Münnerstadt, Conventual from the Commandry of the Teutonic Knights of Hitzkirch, and contains Moralitates super evangelium sancti Lucae. In the second half of the 15th century, probably in Beromünster, this was bound together with two natural science Compendia moralia (excerpts from Thomas of Cantimpré's encyclopedia) and with catechetical treatises by Heinrich von Langenstein, Johannes Gerson and Bonaventure. Scholarly manuscript for regular use in the area of pastoral care (hasty hand with numerous abbreviations, especially in the third fascicle). (luz)
