Manuscript 513 is a collection of commentaries on Aristotelian texts, by a variety of thirteenth-century philosophers. The codex starts with (ff. 1r-75r) the Sententia fratris Egidii super librum de anima, a commentary by the Augustinian philosopher Aegidius Romanus (ca. 1243 - 1316) on Aristotle's De anima (On the Soul). It is followed by (ff. 76r-84v) the Sentencia quarti libri metheororum, a commentary of Jacobus de Duaco on the Meteorologica. In this treatise, Aristotle discussed the weather, but also cosmology and the elements. The next three texts are all works by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274): his sentences on De Sensu et Sensato (ff. 86r-97r and ff. 97r-100v, split here in two separate texts), and (ff. 101r-110v) the Liber de causis. The two parts of De sensu discuss the human senses, while in the De causis Aquinas explains how plurality could come forth from one single cause. The latter text was originally attributed to Aristotle, but this has since been discredited: it is now believed to have been the work of an Islamic scholar. Aquinas' commentaries are followed by sentences of Peter of Auvergne (d. 1304), a French theologian at the University of Paris, on a number of Aristotelian treatises: De iuventute et senectute, De longitudine et brevitate vitae, and De motu animalium. The Super librum de generatione sententia (ff. 130r-137r) is a commentary by Adam de Buckfield or Adam of Bockenfeld, an English Franciscan who lectured at Oxford. He was especially interested in Aristotle's natural philosophy and relied heavily on Averroes for explaining the former's ideas. In the next commentary, Supra librum de sompno et vigilia (ff. 138r-143r), Aquinas discusses sleep and sleeplessness. The following two treatises were written by the aforementioned Jacobus de Duaco: the Questiones et sententia super librum de longitudine et breuitate vite (ff. 143r-149r) and Sententia Iacobi de Duaco super de sompno et vigilia (ff. 151r-167r). The latter text also discusses sleep and sleeplessness; the former discusses the effect that a balance of the elements have on the longevity of someone's (or something's) existence. The next text is also by Aegidius Romanus and is the longest one (ff. 168r-323r): the Sententia super libro Phisicorum, discussing Aristotle's Ethics. Finally, a small treatise by Albertus Magnus, on the potencies of the soul, Tractatus Alberti de potentiis anime (ff. 323r-324v) has been copied. Following an empty page, the last verso leaf holds a schematic distinction of the soul according to Aristotle's ideas: the soul is divided in three major categories (vegetabilis, sensibilis en rationalis), each of which are further subdivided. This distinction is probably based on the encyclopaedias of Bartholomeus Anglicus, Thomas of Cantimpré and Vincent of Beauvais. Despite the multitude of texts, the codex appears to be a single unit. All texts have been written in two columns per page, in a tiny textualis script. Decoration is present in the shape of penwork initials, paragraph marks and running titles, all alternately in red and blue ink. This decoration is found throughout the manuscript; only the last two texts have been left without. The binding is medieval and consists of full leather over wooden boards. The fenestra has survived and is attached to the back board. The codex was originally owned by the Ter Doest abbey, and found its way into the collection of Ten Duinen. The cross-shaped stamp of the latter abbey is found on the first and final leaves. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
