Die Merckwürdigkeiten der Königlichen Bibliothec

464.) Petri de Riga Biblia Metrica Metrical Bible.
Almost all libraries are provided with such manuscriptis manuscripts. They generally bear the titles Aurora or even Bibliotheca. Because the first leaf is missing in this one, we have given it a title as we saw fit. The author made use of the generis elegiaci elegiac genre in most of the Biblical books, with the exception of the Acts of the Apostles, the Book of Job, and the Song of Songs, for which he used heroic verses, of which two always rhyme at the end.

A manuscript on parchment in folio, 81 leaves.
