Title, in red
f.1 Μιχαήλου ἀποστολίου του̑ βυζαντίου πρὸς τὰς ὑπὲρ άριστοτέλους περὶ οὐσίας κατὰ Πλήθωνος, Θεοδώρου του̑ Γαζῆ άντιλήψεις ἐπιστολὴ πρὸς τὸν σοφώτατον Βησσαρίω
Οἶδά σε θείοτατε καρδηναλέων δυοῖν τούτοιν ὄντοιν ἡγεμόνοιν τω̑ν λόγων
There are copious marginal additions, most of which might very well be by the original scribe.
The text ends, irregularly written, on f.21b
τὸν δοξομανῆ κἀν τούτῳ άριστοτέλη μιμούμενος.
See Fabr. Harles Bibl. Gr. XI. 191. MSS. of the work are not uncommon.
