Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
The paper manuscript contains several codicological units (pp. 128, almost entirely empty; pp. 29-146; p. 149 [sic]-176, empty; pp. 207 [sic]-222; pp. 225 [sic]-244; pp. 245-268, pp. 269-278, empty). A series of sermons (pp. 29-145), following the liturgical order and missing the beginning, is copied in two columns. Each sermon is numbered in the margin, and the Sunday for which it is prepared is often written on the recto of the folio (e.g., p. 33: do[mini]ca quinta). A possessor’s note (p. 146) states that this part of the codex belonged to Johannes Bischoff, monk of Saint Gall (ca. 1460-1495), or to one of two other persons with the same name who are attested around the monastery at the time. This volume also contains the Summarium biblicum, a text in verse composed of keywords put together without syntactic order, which summarize entire chapters of the Bible, accompanied by interlinear glosses (pp. 207-222). There follows the Speculum sacerdotum (pp. 245-258) by the Augustinian Hermit Hermann de Schildesche (1290-1357). Finally, the codex ends with an excerpt from John of Freiburg’s Confessionale sive tractatus de instructione confessorum (pp. 258-262). The half-leather binding dates from the fifteenth century and the inside board have the offset of fragments that have been detached. (rou)
