Titolo del codice: Hieronymus in Danielem
Datazione: Saec. VIII-IX.
Supporto materiale: Parchment: many defective membranes. Ink dark brown.
Dimensioni: Foll. 115
Formato: 280 x 157-162 mm
Numerazione delle pagine: Paginated 1-230 (an unnumbered slip between pp. 38 and 39)
Composizione dei fascicoli: Gatherings of eight, apparently unsigned: most quires are irregularly arranged so that hair faces flesh within the quire.
Disposizione della pagina: (215-220 x 115-125 mm.) in 22-27 long lines. Ruling before folding, normally all the flesh-side, 4 bifolia at a time. Double bounding lines in both margins. Prickings in the outer margin guided the ruling.
Tipo di scrittura e mani:
  • Colophons and headings in black uncial.
  • Punctuation: the medial point marked various pauses; other points added. Omissions are indicated by signes de renvoi. Citations marked by horizontal or vertical flourishes to the left of each line. Quotations from the Bible are often in unciaI. Run-overs carried to the line below are supported by a rectangular bracket.
  • Abbreviations include b;, .q; = bus, que; auꞇ̄ and aū = autem; dic̄, dr̄ = dicit, -itur; ēē = esse; ꝳ = mus; nr̄a, (uīs) = nostra, (uestris); om and oms = omnes; ꝑ, p̄ = per, prae; rχ = rum; ꞇ͗ = tur.
  • Script, by several scribes, is a roundish minuscule of the Alemannic type: ɑ is still more frequent than a: the shaft of h sometimes curves; z is tall and the two horizontals are sometimes cup-shaped; ligatures include nt (even in mid-word), Ɛȷ (for hard ti); in the uncial the bow of A is a high flat oval; the foot of L and the cross-stroke of T have forked finials.
Decorazione: Simple pen-drawn initials with the leaf motif (pp. 3, 8).
Aggiunte: The “exegetical fragment” entered on pp. 228-230 at the end of the manuscript is merely a repetition of the text contained on pp. 8-11.
Corrections and transliteration (saec. IX-X) of Greek words are frequent.
A few verses from Sedulius' Carmen paschale are entered (saec. X- XI) on p. 1.
Origine del manoscritto: Written no doubt at St. Gall, to judge from the script. The thirteenth-century ex-libris Iste libˢ ē de sc̄o gallo is seen on p. 2.
