Comments |
Written presumably in Ireland. Provenance probably St. Gall: 'Ezechiel propheta in volumine I' is mentioned in the St. Gall ninth-century catalogue among the 'Libri scottice scripti'. Formed part of the Ferdinard Keller colleciton.
Script is an expert Irish minuscule: ligatures include no, ua. The manuscript is an early example of a book containing both text and commentary in parallel columns, a type which later becomes common. The glosses are mainly taken from Gregory's homilies. The probatio pennae 'anima mea' (saec. x) is seen on fol. 25 |
