Notes

The first text is a commentary on logic from which the beginning is missing.

f.33r incipit: “ττου (?) τῶν τὴν λογικὴν πραγματείαν ἐξηγομένων...”

f.37v desinit: “περὶ τίνων δὲ τούτων ἔκαστον διαλαμβάνω σαφὲς....τέλλος (sic).”
There is a blank folio between 37v and 38r.

f.38r Psellus’ text incipit: ὁ μὲν ἡμέτερος λόγος προαιρέσεις καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις διδούς...”
Ornamental heading and capital decorate the page.

f. 42v τιμόθεος ἢ περὶ δαιμόνων: τὰ πρόσωπα, τιμόθεος και θρᾶξ.
Text incipit: “χρόνιος ὦ θρᾶξ, ἐπὶ τὸ βυζάντιον ἀπαντᾶς.....”

Lovely heading, a sort of dog-shaped snake.

f. 61v desinit: “φιλοτίμως ὑπὲρ τὰς συρρακουσίων δεκάτας καταθησόμεθα...τέλλος (sic).”
f.62r is a blank page.

f.62v -63r (the end of the film) has a small portion of a text by John Italos on Aristotle.  Incipit: “ἡ λογικὴ πτραγματείαν τέλος ἔχει…”

As of July 2011, Pinakes does not list Psellus' works.
