Abstract

Abstract: Study and proposal of reconstruction of ms. 216 in the Historical Library of the University of Valencia. It is a restored codex from the first half of the 15th century. Many pages of this manuscript were lost, and others were bound incorrectly. In the volume there are medical and didactic works, such as Catalan translations of the Thesarus pauperum by Peter of Spain, the Macer floridus by Odo of Meung, and book II of the Disticha Catonis. There are also works originally written in Catalan, such as the anonymous Llibre de Sent Soví, and Mil proverbis (Book of Thousand Proverbs) by Ramon Llull. The volume’s poor condition makes it difficult to be sure about some aspects of its compilation, which hints at possible problems in the past.

Key words: codicology, handwritten transmission, manuscript 216, Historical Library of the University of Valencia, Llibre de Sent Soví, Mil proverbis, Ramon Llull.
