- St John's College MS 164 (Digital facsimile online) — 1365 x 1377. It is unclear whether our book should be considered a datable manuscript. A terminus a quo might be established by Oresme’s work here: ‘Pour le XIVe siècle, l’œuvre la plus importante est sans doute le traité De l’espère 53920 de Nicole Oresme, qui date des environs de 1365’ (Frappier et al., 322). The terminus ad quem is provided by the most recent horoscope, for a child born in 1373; and by the fact that one of Charles’s children for whom a horoscope is provided, Marie, died in 1377. But the opening leaves of surviving booklets show substantial wear, suggesting that the book may have existed for a good while as a series of separate parts. And the 1418 description of a schedule of nativities as separate from the volume at large may also suggest piecemeal accretion.; France (Paris?)
