Analysis of Content
[*1r] ‘Registrum'. Incipit: ‘[N]otanda sunt de tabula subscripta tria. Primo materias distinctas per numerum . . .’
[a2r] [Rampegollis, Antonius de]: ‘Prologus' [addressed to] members of the congregation of his order in Naples (OESA, S. Giovanni a Carbonara). Incipit: ‘[R]eligiosis uiris in Christo sibi dilectis studentibus Neapolitani conuentus fratrum heremitarum ordinis Sancti Augustini frater N de Ianua . . .’ The mention of ‘N. de Janua' has prompted previous attributions of authorship to Nicolaus de Janua (cf. BMC). On the identification of the author as Antonius de Rampegollis, see J. V. Scholderer, ‘A Further Note on Nicolaus Hanapus', Gutenberg Jahrbuch (1939) 153-4. See also Perini III 111-13.
[a2v] [Rampegollis, Antonius de: Compendium Morale siue Figurae Bibliae.] ‘Liber qui dicitur Compendium Morale utilis pro sermonibus et collationibus faciendis'. Incipit: ‘ “[C]astigo corpus meum”, I. Corin. 9 [I Cor 9,27]. Abstinentia. Nota quod non est animal adeo indomitum . . .’ Concerning the title: in his preface Antonius de Rampegollis calls his work ‘Compendium figurarum'; in the prefatory letters in R‑007 it is referred to as ‘Biblia cum figuris'.
