College of St. Isidore, Rome. Manuscript 1/29

Photographs ---- Catalogue  ---- Other details

-----------------------------

The manuscript contains only the Apologeticum of Tertullian, and is a quarto volume on parchment in a modern binding. Note that on some pages the text is very grainy: on the original, the ink has not adhered very well to the parchment. Photographed February 2004.  The photographs cover the whole volume.

The date is uncertain.  The catalogue below gives it as 10th century, with 15th century decoration on fol.3.  Hoppe's critical edition lists it as 12th-13th century; while it has been suggested to me that the whole Ms. may be 15th century (e.g. look at the dots on the 'i's).  [Any paleographer care to give an opinion?
