In this article I describe the contents of the MS St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 238, focusing in particular on Pseudo-Methodius' <i>Revelationes</i> in the so-called Third Recension, which I could detect among the texts of the manuscript (p. 385-392). Winithar adapted and integrated this work with biblical quotes, and then he gave it the new title <i>De gentibus</i>.

This paper deals with the text of Isidore's <i>De Natura rerum</i>, contained in this manuscript, with further discussion of some questions regarding its copyist, the well-known Winithar, as well as the <i>Liber glossarum</i>; from a stemmatic point of view CSG 238 is linked to some italian manuscripts.
