Edinme Donated to Trinity College by Roger Gale (1672-1744), son of Thomas Gale (1635/6-1702), in 1738. The alpha-numerical elements of its current classmark are printed on three labels pasted onto the spine: "O", "2", "16". The current classmark is also inscribed in brown ink on f. ii recto together with the old classmark references: "B.7" [crossed out], "O.15.7" [crossed out], and "No. 73.". The college's armorial bookplate, featuring its coat of arms and name ("Collegium S.S. et Individuae Trinitatis in Academiâ Cantabrigensis") has been pasted onto the inside of the front cover. The College's bookstamp is found on ff. 1:1r, 1:1r and 1:110v.
Eklentiler A table of contents for the manuscript as a whole, perhaps in the hand of Thomas Gale (1635/6-1702), has been added to f. ii recto.

James (1902) - followed by Mooney (1995) - who identifies three separate parts in the manuscript (namely ff. 1:1-1:80 [Part 1]; ff. 1:81-1:142 [Part 2]; and ff. 2:1-2:110 [Part 3]). It also deviates from Timmermann (2015), who divides the manuscript into two separate parts (namely ff. 1:1-1:142, 2:1 [Part 1]; and ff. 2:2-110 [Part 2]). Instead, this catalogue record divides the manuscript into seven separate codicological units, based on changes in watermarks, scripts, and decoration (namely ff. 1:1-1:24 [Part 1]; ff. 1:25-1:32 [Part 2]; ff. 1:33, 1:33a-[1:33b], 1:34-1:75, 1:77-1:80 [Part 3]; ff. 1:81-1:126, 1:126a-1:126b, 1:127-1:132 [Part 4]; ff. 1:133-1:142 [Part 5]; 2:1-2:2, [2:3], 2:4-2:19, 2:21-2:76 [Part 6]; 2:77-2:100, [2:100a]-100b, 2:101-2:104, [2:104a], 2:105-2:110 + 2:111-2:112 [Part 7]). Although it does suggest that Parts 6 and 7 may have been produced together, changes in hands and decoration leave open the possibility that they were produced as separate parts. Nevertheless, Parts 6 and 7 were certainly together shortly after their production as is indicated by the 16th-century table of contents for both parts on f. 2:2r and the fact that both parts have been continuously foliated by 15th- or 16th-century hand. Finally, this catalogue record occasionally also deviates from the quire numbers that a modern collator has supplied in the manuscript (see below). For these deviations, see the collations provided in the separate parts of this catalogue record. A modern hand has written quire numbers in pencil on the lower outer corners of the first rectos of quires, and indicated the location of the centres of quires with crosses in pencil on the lower outer corners of the rectos of the innermost bifolia.

Materyal The manuscript consists of seven separate parts that, with one exception, contain paper leaves only. Part 3 has two parchment leaves (ff. 1:31 and 1:71).
Köken (Provenance) Thomas Charnock (1524x6-1581): his ownerhip inscription on f. 1:1r: "Thomas Charnocke his book .1562.". Added alchemical notes and poems to Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this manuscript, the lastest one dating to 1577 [see the Provenance in the individual parts for further details]. There is no evidence that he owned or accessed Parts 4-7. William Dun (fl. c. 1550-1650), physician: possibly owned the manuscript but previously not associated with this manuscirpt. His name and initials occur in notes on added early modern flyleaves at the beginning and end of the manuscript: "Annotationes G. Dun . Londin[ien]sis in lib. 1m Aphorismos Hippocratis" (f. i recto); and "G. D." (f. 2:112v).There can be no doubt that the initial "G" stands for "Guilielmus": the same hand that has inscribed ff. i recto and 2:112v has also inscribed an unfoliated flyleaf (f. [a]) at the beginning of medical manuscript Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.23 with the title: "Authore G D medico Londinensi". In fact, this manuscript is largely copied by Dun and includes a number of his own works, including a work entitled: "In Vrinae Speculatores Tractatus authore G. Dun Londinensi medico" (f. 2:66r) and another one entitled: "Annotationes Gulielmi Dun Londinensis in 2m. Librum aph. Hippo." (f. 1:104r). The latter undoubtedly is the work to which the inscription on f. i recto refers. Trinity College, MS O.2.23 also contains sections with headings such as "venenum quid se" (f.1: 19r) and "De Vrinis" (f. 1:41v), which seem to correspond with the medical subjects inscribed on ff. 2:111r and 2:112v. All of this indicates that ff. i-ii and 2:111-2:112 originally belonged to Trinity College MS O.2.23 and were repurposed as flyleaves for Trinity College MS O.2.16 (this theory is further supported by the fact that ff. i-ii and 2:111-2:112 are significantly smaller than the leaves in the seven parts of Trinity College MS O.2.16 but that their dimensions do match with the leaves of Trinity College MS O.2.23). The flyleaves may have been inserted by Thomas Gale, who probably is the 17th-century indexing hand that can be found both on Trinity College MS O.2.16, f. ii recto and Trinity College MS O.2.23, f. [a] recto. However, it is possible that Dun's hand features in the manuscript: he may have been responsible for adding the text on f. 1:81v and titles for works to upper margins throughout the manuscript. If so, then he probably owned the manuscript.M.R. James (1902) has identified three medical manuscripts that were owned (and partly written) by "one William Dun": Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.1.39Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.44Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.62Additionally, James has also suggested that Dun owned alchemical manuscript Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.8.1 as part of his collection, and he almost certainly owned more manuscripts besides these. He probably is the same (unknown) physician William Dun who donated various medical and alchemical manuscripst to the Bodleian library in 1605. This included an illustrated alchemical scroll with verses attributed to George Ripley , and three manuscripts on philosophy, medicine, and science: Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS. Bodl. Rolls 1 [Ripley Scroll]Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodl. 266Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS 465Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS 874Elias Ashmole (1617–1692), astrologer and antiquary: accessed the manuscript and perhaps owned it as well. Ashmole removed leaves with Charnock's alchemical notes and inserted these into his own manuscript, now Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 1441 (pp. 85-88, 98); and added his transcriptions of other poems and notes by Charnock in Trinity College MS O.2.16 after these leaves (pp. 99-104). This includes a reproduction of the illustration of the Phoenix in flames on f. 1:27v that is not by Charnock. For further details, see Taylor (1946), pp. 161-162 [transcription of MS Ashmole 1441, pp. 85-88; p. 99 is omitted], 162-163 [transcription of MS Ashmole 1441, pp. 100-104] and Rampling (2020), pp. 324-325. Since Taylor was unaware of Trinity College MS O.2.16 and Rampling only discusses its missing leaves in a footnote, it remains unclear where the five removed leaves were originally located. Rampling does not note that Ashmole also transcribed many of Charnock's poems and notes in Trinity College MS O.2.16 in another of his manuscripts, now Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 1445, including his copy of Charnock's alchemical alchemical drawings of f. 1:65r. For a reproduction and transcriptions of these notes, see Taylor (1946), pp. 158, 169-171. Interestingly, MS Ashmole 1445 contains a full transcription of Charnock's alchemical poem on f. 1:80v which is now largely obscured by ink. Ashmole used some of his transcriptions of Trinity College MS O.2.16 for the publication of his Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (1652), pp. 424-426.Possibly one of the manuscripts of Thomas Gale (1635/6-1702), dean of York, antiquary and fellow of Trinity College Cambridge: perhaps part of his vast collection of manuscripts that he passed down to his son Roger Gale (see below).One of the manuscripts of Roger Gale (1672-1744), antiquary and scholar, son of Thomas Gale. Perhaps inherited from his father.

The number '76' has been skipped (although a modern hand declares the verso of f. 1:75 to be "number 76").With the exception of the folio numbers in Part 6, this foliation sequence is followed in this catalogue record.15th- or 16th-century foliation for Parts 6 and 7:2:1-2:19, 2:21-2:76 [=Part 6] | 2:77-2:110 + 2:111-2:112 [= Part 7] + [g]-[j]Numbering in dark ink in the upper right-hand corners of the rectos.One stub follows f. 2:2, three stubs follow f. 2:100 and one follows f. 2:104: as per standard practice with blank stubs, these have been omitted from the display on the Cambridge Digital Library, but are shown on the Wren Digital Library (except for those following f. 2:104).Folios 2:111-2:112 are are early modern paper flyleaves; [g]-[j] are unfoliated modern paper flyleaves at the end of the manuscript that have been allocated letters between square brackets for reference purposes in this catalogue record.This foliation sequence is followed in this catalogue record.19th- or 20th-century foliation for Parts 6 and 7:"(3)"-"(99)" (for ff. 2:4-2:102), "(100)"-"(106)" (for ff. 2:104-2:110)Numbering in pencil and between parentheses in the upper right-hand corners of the rectos. This foliation sequence has subsequently been striken through with pencil.This foliation sequence is ignored in this catalogue record.

Materyal The manuscript consists of seven separate parts that, with one exception, contain paper leaves only. Part 3 has two parchment leaves (ff. 1:31 and 1:71).
Köken (Provenance) Thomas Charnock (1524x6-1581): his ownerhip inscription on f. 1:1r: "Thomas Charnocke his book .1562.". Added alchemical notes and poems to Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this manuscript, the lastest one dating to 1577 [see the Provenance in the individual parts for further details]. There is no evidence that he owned or accessed Parts 4-7. William Dun (fl. c. 1550-1650), physician: possibly owned the manuscript but previously not associated with this manuscirpt. His name and initials occur in notes on added early modern flyleaves at the beginning and end of the manuscript: "Annotationes G. Dun . Londin[ien]sis in lib. 1m Aphorismos Hippocratis" (f. i recto); and "G. D." (f. 2:112v).There can be no doubt that the initial "G" stands for "Guilielmus": the same hand that has inscribed ff. i recto and 2:112v has also inscribed an unfoliated flyleaf (f. [a]) at the beginning of medical manuscript Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.23 with the title: "Authore G D medico Londinensi". In fact, this manuscript is largely copied by Dun and includes a number of his own works, including a work entitled: "In Vrinae Speculatores Tractatus authore G. Dun Londinensi medico" (f. 2:66r) and another one entitled: "Annotationes Gulielmi Dun Londinensis in 2m. Librum aph. Hippo." (f. 1:104r). The latter undoubtedly is the work to which the inscription on f. i recto refers. Trinity College, MS O.2.23 also contains sections with headings such as "venenum quid se" (f.1: 19r) and "De Vrinis" (f. 1:41v), which seem to correspond with the medical subjects inscribed on ff. 2:111r and 2:112v. All of this indicates that ff. i-ii and 2:111-2:112 originally belonged to Trinity College MS O.2.23 and were repurposed as flyleaves for Trinity College MS O.2.16 (this theory is further supported by the fact that ff. i-ii and 2:111-2:112 are significantly smaller than the leaves in the seven parts of Trinity College MS O.2.16 but that their dimensions do match with the leaves of Trinity College MS O.2.23). The flyleaves may have been inserted by Thomas Gale, who probably is the 17th-century indexing hand that can be found both on Trinity College MS O.2.16, f. ii recto and Trinity College MS O.2.23, f. [a] recto. However, it is possible that Dun's hand features in the manuscript: he may have been responsible for adding the text on f. 1:81v and titles for works to upper margins throughout the manuscript. If so, then he probably owned the manuscript.M.R. James (1902) has identified three medical manuscripts that were owned (and partly written) by "one William Dun": Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.1.39Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.44Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.62Additionally, James has also suggested that Dun owned alchemical manuscript Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.8.1 as part of his collection, and he almost certainly owned more manuscripts besides these. He probably is the same (unknown) physician William Dun who donated various medical and alchemical manuscripst to the Bodleian library in 1605. This included an illustrated alchemical scroll with verses attributed to George Ripley , and three manuscripts on philosophy, medicine, and science: Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS. Bodl. Rolls 1 [Ripley Scroll]Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodl. 266Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS 465Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS 874Elias Ashmole (1617–1692), astrologer and antiquary: accessed the manuscript and perhaps owned it as well. Ashmole removed leaves with Charnock's alchemical notes and inserted these into his own manuscript, now Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 1441 (pp. 85-88, 98); and added his transcriptions of other poems and notes by Charnock in Trinity College MS O.2.16 after these leaves (pp. 99-104). This includes a reproduction of the illustration of the Phoenix in flames on f. 1:27v that is not by Charnock. For further details, see Taylor (1946), pp. 161-162 [transcription of MS Ashmole 1441, pp. 85-88; p. 99 is omitted], 162-163 [transcription of MS Ashmole 1441, pp. 100-104] and Rampling (2020), pp. 324-325. Since Taylor was unaware of Trinity College MS O.2.16 and Rampling only discusses its missing leaves in a footnote, it remains unclear where the five removed leaves were originally located. Rampling does not note that Ashmole also transcribed many of Charnock's poems and notes in Trinity College MS O.2.16 in another of his manuscripts, now Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Ashmole 1445, including his copy of Charnock's alchemical alchemical drawings of f. 1:65r. For a reproduction and transcriptions of these notes, see Taylor (1946), pp. 158, 169-171. Interestingly, MS Ashmole 1445 contains a full transcription of Charnock's alchemical poem on f. 1:80v which is now largely obscured by ink. Ashmole used some of his transcriptions of Trinity College MS O.2.16 for the publication of his Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (1652), pp. 424-426.Possibly one of the manuscripts of Thomas Gale (1635/6-1702), dean of York, antiquary and fellow of Trinity College Cambridge: perhaps part of his vast collection of manuscripts that he passed down to his son Roger Gale (see below).One of the manuscripts of Roger Gale (1672-1744), antiquary and scholar, son of Thomas Gale. Perhaps inherited from his father.
