Digesta - Infortiatum (D.35.2.82 'tres partes ferant legatarii', etc.) . After loss of sheets which preceded, the preserved text starts in D.38.19.9 'tissimi principis nostri oratio' = 16 lines before D.39.1. The text then continues into D.39 and maintains the same character of layout, the main scribe's hand, and decoration - throughout the Digestum novum D.39-D.50. In origin, obviously, the oldest Bolognese texts of the 'Digestum novum' started in D.35.2.82, because their text had been copied from the second volume of an ancient two-volumes MS of the Digesta, and that ancient model MS had lost its first sheets, so that its text now started abruptly in the middle of D.35.2.82 'tres partes ferant legatarii'.

Compare the present MS to its probable copy at Cambridge, GC, 271/671 and to the fragments at Fritzlar and to the other relevant MSS mentioned by Hans van de Wouw, Ius Commune 11 (1984) 231-280.
