Imago ad lucrum

The text moves directly into orationes planetarum each of which begins with the formula " In nomine domini et creatoris potentissimi". Each planet is followed by the sigils of the planets. Saturn:O tu domine saturne alte revolutor....

Jupiter: Jupier callidus et humidus benevolus et ..... Sun: O dum luceus pro...(?) Venus: O tu vere domina amorum et... Mercury: O tu mercurij planete velox sapiens... Moon: O lumen fulgoris O domina luna nobis...

Mars appears to be missing from the text.

The text breaks at 77v and picks up again at 99v As this is at the end of a quire, one presumes that quire 12 originally followed quire 9.

Hic est liber quo Deus in hac vita facialiter qui videri: Hic est liber quo quilibet potest salvari et in vitam eternam procul dubio deduci. Hic est liber quo infernus & purgatorium queunt sine morte videri: Hic est liber quo quo onmnes creatura, excerptis novem ordinibus angelorum possunt subjugari; Hic est liber quo onmnes scientiae possunt haberi. Hic ext liber, quo substantia imbecillissima potest substantias robustissimas et devincere et sujugare. Hic est liber quem nulla lex habe nisi Christiana, et si habet, nil sibi prodest. Hic est liber qui est majus jocale, a Deo datum omni alio jocali exceptis sacramentis. Hic est liber quo natura corporalis et visibilis cum corporali et invisibili alloqui, rationari et instrui potest. Hic est liber, quo innumerabiles thesauri haberi possunt. Ex multa alia per hunc fieri quenunt[?], que narrare distendium seest, ideo merito Sacer nuncupatur.' In perg. S. xiv. [council of necromancers; necromancy].
