1. Spring Update
On 31 May 2024, e-codices published 48 new documents. These include Franciscan breviaries from Schaffhausen, key documents pertaining to the Governance of Appenzell, spiritual and theological texts from St. Gall, and, from Porrentruy, crucial material for the political and ecclesiastical history of Northwestern Switzerland.

Biblical Fragments from St. Gall
Among the amazing collection of St. Gall manuscript material published in this update are the eighteen folders that used to make up Cod. Sang. 1398b, part of the famed series of volumes gathering together fragments detached from St. Gall bindings. The Cod. Sang. 1398b folders contain Biblical fragments, including numerous pieces of the Vetus Latina, the pre-Vulgate Latin translations of the Bible.

3. A Pontifical Finds its Place
The manuscripts from Porrentruy published with this update include Ms. 35, a pontifical purchased at auction in 2023. In coming to Porrentruy and to e-codices, it joins three other liturgical manuscripts (ms. 1, ms. 2, and ms. 3) commissioned by Jean de Venningen, bishop of Basel, around 1462-1463.

4. Paradies Breviaries
Believed to come from the House of Poor Claires of Paradies, two Franciscan breviaries, Schaffhausen, Stadtbibliothek, Min. 100 and Min. 101, provide a valuable witness to female spirituality in the fifteenth century. These two books now feature on e-codices alongside Min 98 and Min. 99 as the surviving witnesses to the nuns‘ library.
