Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
Among the Stiftsbibliothek’s oldest dated paper manuscripts (p. 136), Cod. Sang. 1045 contains sermons on the Gospels in the order of the readings of Lent (pp. 9-136), followed by an officium lugubri (p. 137-152). The text, copied in a single column in an early gothic book cursive, is regular, with simple initials at the beginning of the different postils, paragraph marks and letters highlighted with rubric. Numerous annotations specify the weekday involved. Quire guards cut from several parchment manuscripts reinforce the gatherings. According to an ownership note (p. 9), the work belonged to the monastery of Saint Gall very early on, which is later confirmed by the stamp of the library of the Prince-abbot Diethelm Blarer between 1553 and 1564 (p. 154). The wooden binding covered in red leather dates from the fourteenth or fifteenth century. (rou)
