Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
Part 1 (pp. 3-35) contains Chronicle notes by the sacristan and pantry assistant Brother Gallus Beerle (1734-1815) for the years 1790-1794 (pantry and cellar) as well as 1804-1809 (sacristan). Part 2 (pp. 1-65), which is important for the history of the Abbey Library, contains the list of St. Gallen manuscripts in the library of Zürich, which was unknown in St. Gall until Abbey Librarian Franz Weidman (1774-1843) made this copy from the list that Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733) made in 1713 after the Toggenburg War and the transfer of the holdings to Zürich, and which was supplemented with additions, particularly from Waser’s catalogue (pp. 63-65). Weidman checked the holdings and made a cross next to the manuscripts that he found at St. Gall and thus had been returned. On p. 62 he copied a date: “Z[ürich, 16. Jenner 1841” and the name “J. Horn”, possibly his middleman in Zürich. The manuscript provided the basis for the list of manuscripts presumed to be in Zürich published in Weidman’s printed history of the library (pp. 423-438).
