[670] The passages are mentioned in the chapter on William of Auvergne; see below, p. 350. [671] _Spec. astron._, cap. 11 (_Opera_, ed. Borgnet, X, 641). [672] A book on necromantic images by Hermes is listed in the 1412 A. D. catalogue of MSS of Amplonius: Math. 54. [673] See in the same catalogue, Math. 9, Mercurii Colotidis liber prestigiorum. [674] _Opera_, Venetiis, 1591, pp. 831, 898. [675] _De veget. et plantis_, V, ii, 6. [676] P. G. Boffito, _Il Commento di Cecco d’Ascoli all’ Alcabizzo_, Firenze, 1905, p. 43. [677] Catalogue of Amplonius (1412 A. D.) Mathematica 53, “Liber Hermetis de quindecim stellis, tot lapidibus, tot herbis, et totidem figuris.” But in Amplon. Quarto 381, fols. 43-5, the work is ascribed to Enoch, whom it is not surprising that Robert of Chester classed as one of three Hermeses. Ashmole 1471, 14th century, fols. 50r-55, “Incipit liber Hermetis de 15 Stellis, 15 lapidibus, 15 herbis et 15 ymaginibus.” Ashmole 341, 13th century, fols. 120v-28. Corpus Christi 125, fols. 70-75. Royal 12-C-XVIII, 14th century. Harleian 80, 14th century. Harleian 1612. Sloane 3847, 17th century. BN 7440, 14th century. No. 4. Vienna 5311, 14-15th century, fols. 37-40. Vienna 3124, 15th century, fols. 161-2, De Stellis fixis, translatus a Mag. Salione, is perhaps the same work. This Salio, who seems to have been a canon at Padua, also translated Alchabitius on nativities from Arabic into Latin: _Ibid._, fols. 96-123; BN 7336, 15th century, #13; S. Marco XI-110, 15th century, fols. 40-111. By the fourteenth century the work had been translated into French: CU Trinity 1313, early 14th century, fol. 11-, “Cy commence le livre Hermes le Philosofre parlaunt des 15 esteilles greyndres fixes et 15 pierres preciouses,” etc. [678] Sloane 3847, fol. 83. “What stones and hearbes are appropriated unto the 15 Starres accordinge to John Gower in his booke intituled _De confessione amantis_.” [679] Amplon. Quarto 354, mid 14th century, fols. 1-3, “Centiloquium Hermetis ... domino Manfrido inclito regi Cicilie Stephanus de Messana has flores de secretis astrologie divi Hermetis transtulit.” CLM 51, 1487-1503 A. D., fols. 46v-49, Hermetis divini Propositiones sive flores Stephanus de Messana transtulit. Other MSS are numerous. Printed before 1500; I have used an edition numbered IA.11947 in the British Museum. It was printed behind Ptolemy at Venice in 1493.
