Description
Anonymous work containing 57 leaves of illustrations. On fol. 12 is a poem of 17 lines in Italian, beginning 'Ogn'un s'agiuti come puo e sa / attender la natura con due ali': and ending 'Salua le sponglie e nulla ne gettare / se liquor diuerso uuoi cauere'. The work begins 'Tesaurum mundi, hic est // Ecce surgens Philosophus germanieque doctrine filius ...': various passages in the text appear to be based on Arabic sources.
