Foliu[m] IIIIv

De opera quinte diei.1

QUinto die dixit deus: producant aque reptile anime viuentis. [et] volatile super terra[m] sub firmamento celi. Cerauitq[ue] de[us] cete grandia: [et] omnem animam viuentem atq[ue] motabilem quas produxera[n]t aque in species suas. [et] om[n]e volatile sec[un]d[u]m genus suum. Uide[n]s quod esset bonum benedixit eis dicens. Crescite [et] multiplicamini [et] replete aquas maris: auesq[ue] multiplicentur super terram.2

Ornauit igitur eo die deus aerem [et] aquam: volatilia dans aeri: natalilia aquis: q[uae] reptilia dicuntur: cum impetu quodam se rapiunt.

Cete enim grandia [et] belluas: maioraq[ue] terrestribus animalibus ex habunda[n]tia humoris [et] mo[n]strifica in mari reperiuntur.

Et quicquid in vlla parte nature nascitur: [et] in mari esse vulgi opinio fert.

Manifesta iam que sequuntur de animalium productione: post plantas enim ea sunt mixta que sentiunt [et] mouentur: quamq[uoniam] [et] in plantis stupidum sensum adscribant pitagorici.

Hec aut[em] animantia que citra omnem controuersiam motu sensuq[ue] participant: [et] hic a Moyse: [et] in Timeo3 in volatilia: [et] in aquis dege[n]tia: [et] terrestria distinguu[n]tur.

Ueniamus igitur ad Moysem qui postq[uoniam] de celestibus dixit terrestrium animaliu[m] meminit ordine co[n]gruenti: que vel aquas vel terram vel aerem inhabitant.

Si tamen inhabitare aerem volucres dici possunt.

Relinquamus hic disputationem: quo pacto corpora animalium ex elementis: aut quid sint indite a deo naturis reru[m] seminarie rationes: sit ne item vita brutoru[m] de finu educata materie: an diuino potius principio om[n]is vita proueniat: vt co[n]stantissime asserit Plotinus4: cui sententie fortasse videbit[ur] hoc loco p[ro]pheta suffragari.

Cu[m] postq[uoniam] dixit: producant aque reptile anime viuentis: adiecit postea creauit deus omne anima[m] viuente[m]: vbi no[n] id du[m]taxat quispia[m] obserueret q[uia] [et] aq[ue] p[ro]duca[n]t deo iubente: [et] deinde etia[m] deus p[ro]ducat: ve[rum] [et] illud q[uo]d vbi de dei op[er]e agit[ur] scriptu[m] est: creauit deus anima[m] viuente[m]. vbi aut[em] de aq[ui]s no[n] a[n]imam. s[ecundum] reptile a[n]i[m]e viuentis q[ua]si aquis vehiculu[m].

Inter animalis terre tria memorat Moyses q[uae] in seq[ue]nti die infinuat.

Plurima aut[em] [et] maxima in indico mare a[n]i[m]alia.

E[st]5 quibus balene quaternu[m] iuge[rum].

Et in mari bellue circasolstitia maxime visunt[ur].

Tu[n]c illic ruu[n]t turbines: tu[n]c imbres: tu[n]c deiecte mo[n]tiu[m] iugis p[ro]celle ab imo vertu[n]t maria. pulsatasq[ue] ex p[ro]fundo belluas cum fluctibus voluu[n]t. auiu[m] quoq[ue] gra[n]dissime [et] pene bestiarum generis strucio cameli affrici vel ethiopici altitudinem equitis infidentis equo excedunt: celeritatem vincunt.

Multo mirabilius de naturis auium [et] piscium ratio experiendi quotidie in varijs locis datur.
