- Notes:
- Excised from a larger manuscript. Worm holes throughout leaf with minimal loss of text. Very thin parchment. Stub of conjugate leaf is present. Leaf is slightly distorted because of the puckering of the parchment., Capitals and paragraph marks touched in red. Text is heavily abbreviated. On verso, text on lower inner column smudged with some loss of text., A decree probably from a document once containing the whole Constitutiones Clementinae. The Exivi de Paradiso was enacted at the final session of the Council of Vienne on 6 May 1312. The text of the leaf corresponds to paragraphs 10 - 14 which starts with an explaination that friars cannot have gardens, vineyards or large churches, only humble and modest buildings. From dealer description: This leaf contains a substantial part of the Exivi de paradiso, the document in which Clement V extended papal acknowledgement and his personal affect towards the newly founded Franciscan Order (Clement V noting that since a youth the “professors of this kind of rule” have inflamed his pious devotion), and setting out the guidelines of asethetic poverty for them., 2 columns of 38 lines ruled in brown ink written in rounded early Gothic book hand, possibly influenced by university script., and The parent codex was presumably produced at the time of the Council of Vienne or soon after, perhaps in Vienne itself, for a wealthy Franciscan community.
