Analysis of content:

1. [a1r] Scriptum compendiosum Psalterii intentionem declarans. Incipit: ‘[S]icut olim manna habuit delectamentum et omnem saporem suauitatis . . .’ Explicit: vlt saluus esse, etc. This does not appear to be the work (with an identical incipit) of Alanus de Insulis, Ludolphus de Saxonia, or Jordanus de Quedlinburg: see BSB‑Ink, with the reference given there. ISTC ascribes the authorship to Walafridus Strabo, but without providing an explanation.

Imprint:

[Basel: Johannes Solidi (Schilling), c.1473]. Folio. As dated by BSB‑Ink. The press, identified as Schilling's, and formerly located at Cologne, is reassigned by Dalbanne and Droz to Basel; see Needham, ‘Cologne Partners', 126-7. CIBN dates [c.1473-4].

Collation:

[a–c¹⁰].
