Anno domini millesimo ducentesimo septuagesimo nono A littera dominicali anno cicli solaris undecimo bissextili tercio lunari quarto decemnovenali septimo concurrente quarto epacta 6 scriptus est liber....et abbreviationem arrogantiam et collaudationem. Item iam sequitur et honestum est ut ponamus hic finem libri. Explicit almagesti. Latin. Other creator(s): Gerard of Cremona, translator. Text proceded by prologue ("Quidam princeps nomine albuguafe in libro suo quem scientiarum electionem et verborum nominavit pulchritudinem dixit...") and chapter list. Ptolemy, Syntaxis Mathematica or Almagest, in the translation of Gerard of Cremona, first printed in Venice by Petrus Liechtenstein, 1515. See Aristoteles Latinus 379; F. Carmody, Arabic Astronomical and Astrological Sciences in Translation (Berkeley and Los Angeles 1956) 15; P. Kunitzsch, Der Almagest; Die Syntaxis Mathematica des Claudius Ptolomäus in arabisch-lateinischer überlieferung (Wiesbaden 1974), this manuscript cited pp. 91, 384. Frequent marginalia in a contemporary hand, possibly that of the scribe; occasional fifteenth century marginalia which may be in the hand of Pier Leoni (e.g. ff. 20, 24, 40, 52v). ff. 219-270v; f. 271r-v blank. [Astronomical tables]. Latin. Twenty astronomical tables connected to the appropriate places in the text by tie marks. A version of the 14th table, ff. 241-258, the"tabula stellarum fixarum," printed in C. H. F. Peters and E. B. Knobel, Ptolemy's Catalogue of Stars, A Revision of the Almagest (Washington 1915) 27-50; due to error in Gerard of Cremona's translation (Peters and Knobel, 14), the latitudes of 60 and odd degrees have been rendered as 300 and odd degrees (here, ff. 242, 243r-v); those on f. 242 have been corrected in a near contemporary hand.
