Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
The volume was copied by several fourteenth-century hands. Its contents were either planned to be more extensive or it is not completely preserved. A summary of contents on p. 3, as well as a slip of paper glued to the front cover with a post-medieval table of contents list seven parts, of which, however, only four are present: excerpts from the lives of the Monastic Fathers in two parts (pp. 328 and 2853), excerpts from Gregory the Great’s life of St. Benedict (pp. 5379), and excerpts from the Purgatorium Patricii (pp. 8091). An index of these four parts can be found on pp. 9295, followed by two sermons of Pope Innocent III (pp. 96111) and passages from other sermons (pp. 111114). On the front and back parchment flyleaves appear numerous notes and ownership entries of different sorts, dating from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. According to them, in the fifteenth century, the book belonged to the Leper chapel of St. Gallen. The medieval half-leather binding was reused in the seventeenth century for a new binding. (mat)
