Firenze, BML, Ashburnham 53 (no. 9 in the 1887 Florence catalogue) on fol. 1-14vb it contains a fragment of the first part of the Collectio Tripartita (elsewhere described as excerpts from Pseudo-Isidore: Kéry, Collections p. 106), followed by a copy of Anselm (A'). Brett describes the Tripartita fragment as follows:
- The Preface, and [Tripartita A] 1. 1 - 20. 1, breaking off in mid-sentence on the first line of the verso of the leaf, leaving the rest of the column blank. On fol. 15ra the capitulatio for Anselm of Lucca Bk I begins in the same hand. The rubrics and capitulations for 1. 15 onwards were never inserted.
The manuscript was written in Italy; at Terni saec. XV, later owned by Count Boutourlain; bought by the notorious Libri, who sold it to Lord Ashburnham; later bought by the Italian state (Blumenthal, Early Councils pp. 65-66).
Not to be confused with the manuscript described as "Ashburnham 53" by ARCA. This is manuscript no. 53 in the Florence catalogue (I codici ashburnhamiani pp. 79-83).
