Manuscript Summary: Cod. Sang. 1398 is one of eight fragment volumes (that is, volumes that contain exclusively fragments) of the Abbey Library of St. Gall. Between 1774 and 1785, the St. Gall monks Johann Nepomuk Hauntinger (1756–1823) and Ildefons von Arx (1755–1833) detached numerous fragments from bindings in which they had served for centuries as pastedowns, flyleaves, spine linings, and endleaf guards. At an advanced age, Ildefons von Arx had the fragments bound in eight thematically-organized bindings and dedicated these in 1822 to his friend Johann Nepomuk Hauntinger. Chiefly in the twentieth century, researchers found additional, small fragments in bindings, from which they were then removed and added to the existing fragment volumes or into the collection of fragments. Before 1875, 121 folios were removed from Cod. Sang. 1398 and bound in a separate volume, Cod. Sang. 1398b. (The old volume with the remaining folios received the shelfmark Cod. Sang. 1398a). From 2003 to 2004 the extensive fragment volume Cod. Sang. 1398b was disbound for conservation reasons. The fragments were rebound (in the same sequence) in 18 folders (“Ganzpapierbroschuren”). The new, now authoritative pagination begins with 1 in each folder and includes only the fragments (and not the empty paper leaves). To be cited (for example): St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. Sang. 1398b.1, pp. 1-2 (= Cod. Sang. 1398b, Folder 1, pages 1-2). The fourth folder of Cod. Sang. 1398b contains fragments from biblical texts (Nm and Dt). (len)
