   Comments:  There are two erased inscriptions of owners on f. 1r and two
inscriptions of Joannes Cervonius Ilicinensis, that is of Elche, in Spain, with
a third on f. 70v, where the date 1453 occurs.  An inscription on f. 2r in red,
later than the text, indicates that the book was once assigned to Brother
Franciscus Deranzio(?) of the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine.  On the same
page, in a later hand, the work is attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas.  This is
repeated on the next page.  This work is also frequently attributed to Albertus
Magnus.
