Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This paper manuscript contains the sixth-century grammarian Eugraphius’ commentary on the comedies of Terence (and not a commentary on Donatus, as was thought by G. Scherrer, 1875). According to the colophon (p. 177), the text was elegantly copied by Johannes Merwart (from Wemding), known for his professional scribal activity when he was a student of canon law at the University of Basel. This volume belonged to the secretary of the town of Saint-Gall, Johannes Widenbach († ca. 1456), whose name and coat of arms appear in two places in the codex (p. 2 and 194), like in another manuscript kept at the Stiftsbibliothek (Cod. Sang. 749, lower pastedown). Based on the library stamp of abbot Diethelm Blarer (p. 178), the manuscript was in the Stiftsbibliothek since at least 1533-1564. (rou)
