Iob et Libri sapientiales veteris testamenti
This twelfth-century manuscript of the Septuagint contains the Book of Job and the Sapiential Books. The margins contain liturgical notes on reading the writings during the office. The text of Job is also accompanied by excerpts from the catena of Nicetas of Heraclea. In one of the margins appears a drawing of the face of Christ or of a saint. John of Ragusa, the envoy of the Council of Basel, purchased this manuscript in Constantinople between 1435 and 1437, and bequeathed it after his death in 1443 to the Dominican convent in Basel. In 1559 it was transferred from there to the library of the University of Basel.
