Costa, Stephanus (XV s.)
The manuscript contains various Aristotelian texts, including works by Aristotle as well as commentaries on his texts. The volume came very early in the history of the University Library from the estate of the Basel Professor of Theology Johannes Syber de Wangen (d. 1502). It is still conserved in its original binding, which probably dates from the fourteenth century and was originally a chained volume.

The flexible binding covers ten codicological units containing texts that the St. Gall monk Johannes Bischoff († 1495) for the most part copied in his own hand or, for a smaller number, obtained during his studies of Canon Law at Pavia in 1474–1476. They include commentaries on individual Titles of the Decretales Gregorii IX (Liber Extra), the Liber Sextus and the Clementinae, discussions of legal procedure, torture, hereditary law, and other themes, an alphabetically-organized reference work on moral doctrine, as well as the public disputation of Johannes Bischoff.
