APPENDIX I
MANUSCRIPTS OF THE EXPERIMENTARIUS OF BERNARD SILVESTER
Digby 46, 14th century, fols. 7v-39v.
Ashmole 304, 13th century, fols. 2r-30v.
Sloane 3857, 17th century, fols. 164-95.
These three MSS are much alike both in the Experimentarius proper and the other tracts of divination which accompany it. Digby 46 has more of them than either of the others and more pictures than Ashmole 304. Sloane 3857 has no pictures. I have given the numbers of the folios only for the Experimentarius proper.
Sloane 2472, a quarto in skin containing 30 leaves, dated in the old written catalogue as late 12th, but in Scott’s printed Index as 14th century, fols. 3r-14v, the prologue and 22 of 28 Judges of the first version; fols. 15r-21v, the last part of the method of divination by the 36 decans, “Thoas Iudex X” to “Sorab Iudex XXXVI”; fols. 23r-30v, divination by planets and signs as in Digby 46.
