Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, C II 13 : Institutiones Iustiniani, cum Accursii glossa ordinaria (fine deficiente)

The manuscript was produced in the second half of the thirteenth century and contains 92 parchment leaves with decoration and illuminations. It transmits Emperor Justinian’s Institutiones with its standard gloss (Glossa Ordinaria) and is richly decorated with, among others, vignettes, marginal drawings, and historical notes. The work was in the possession of Arnold zum Lufft, who gave it to the Basel Cordeliers. In addition to its juridical content the book includes heavily erased notes and illustrations that depict humoral theory.
