Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
The Abba-Ababus-Glossar in palimpsest form, one of the oldest manuscripts in the Abbey Library which survives in book form. This glossary, in which each Latin word is explained using another, was apparently written over older texts from the 5th century in the Cloister of Bobbio. The texts underneath, which vary in legibility, include fragments of the Psalms and of the book of Jeremiah from the Old Testament as well as extracts from works by the grammarian Donatus and the Roman poet Terence. Includes a miniature of a speaker in declamatory pose. (smu)

Mitteilung von Klaus-Dietrich Fischer (Mainz) vom 15. Juni 2015:
"p. 318 der Hs. ist ein Pulstraktat, capreaticus (capria- in der Hs.) ein lat. Wort zur Wiedergabe von griechisch dorkadizon, die Ergänzung von Lehmann (dorca) also vermutlich falsch."
