| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary This little manuscript contains a series of ascetic texts, copied in a single column by a single scribe. It begins with a text of the pseudo-Bernard de Clairvaux, the Formula honestae vitae (pp. 1-11a). Then follows the first book of David of Augsburg, De exterioris et interioris hominis compositione, which often circulated independently under the name Formula novitiorum (inc.: Primo semper debes considerare ad quid veneris…; [pp. 11a-63]). Next come three sermons, on the Last Judgment, the Song of Songs, and contempt for the world, respectively (pp. 64-83), followed by a list of chapters by the Abbot Bernard [of Clairvaux] on the Song of Songs (inc.: Incipiunt capitula Bernahardi [!] abbatis in cantica canticorum [pp. 83-84]). The poem Quinquaginta bona proverbialia occupies pages 85-94 (Morawski, p. XXXVIII), followed by the hymn, missing its first lines, De forma vivendi monachorum (AH, vol. 33, n° 220; p. 95-101). The final two texts are related to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux: first a poem on his life (inc.: Anno milleno centeno cum duodeno…; Walther, Initia 1162; pp. 102-105) and then an incomplete poem on his miracles (inc.: Gaude claustralis contio…; p. 106). The limp binding is made with a fragment from a missal. On the top cover is glued a label with an old shelfmark corresponding to those from the 1461 manuscript catalogue of the monastery library (Cod. Sang. 1399, pp. 1-8), and indication that this volume was at Saint Gall’s abbey by that date at the latest. The stamp of Abbot Diethelm Blarer, from between 1553 and 1564, appears towards the end of the manuscript (p. 101). |
