The manuscript now conserved under the shelf mark Folio 377 in Erfurt Amploniana library is composed of three codicological units, two of which are multiple texts: a central part copied in Paris during the years 1320 was enclosed between two others of the XVth century and then bounded together. Overall, the manuscript covers the contents of late medieval astronomy: cosmology, instruments, astrology, tables and arithmetical tools. However, these topics are not evenly distributed in the different codicological units: the central XIVth century part is mainly concerned with mathematical astronomy (instruments, tables and arithmetical tools) while the XVth century parts address cosmology and astrology. These differences allow us to sketch the various intellectual projects which shaped the manuscript other more than a century before it was finally bounded. Other contrasts between and within each codicological units, notably an analysis of the hands, colophons and diagrams, are telling especially with respect to the specific kinds of context where the codicological units were first produced. The XIVth century reflect a highly personalised teaching context in a master to student relationship, while the XVth century parts attest probably a more institutionalised setting.
