An edition would be great - those late 13th - early 14th cent. compendia remain major blind spot, I believe. I may only add, that 'Peter of Poitiers', used by 'Ickham', is compendium in Eton College, MS. 96 or something like that.

CUL is truly a magical place for me, with all those steampunk switchers and dim spiral staircases. Been there twenty years ago and then last December, and still felt like a hero of The Name of the Rose, exploring finis Africae.

8/9 The manuscript itself, however, is an extremely interesting collection of historical materials, collected at the beginning of the 14th century in the Flemish abbey of Vicoigne, and deserves much more attention than it has received so far.
