MS. Bodl. 2
Summary Catalogue no.: 1842
Physical Description
History
Provenance and Acquisition
'Iste liber pertinet ad Thomam Corserum clericum' (who also owned MS. Ashmole 391 iii, in 1541), 16th cent. (fol. iv).
This is the only volume which seems to correspond to 'Hugo de S. Victore opuscula varia', an entry found in the 1602 catalogue. The error could arise from the colophon on fol. 82v, hastily read. It was 8º A. 52 Th. in 1614 and 1620, but seems to have escaped the 1605 catalogue.
