Manuscript Summary:This paper manuscript begins with Conrad of Soltau’s commentary on the Psalms (pp. 3a-210a). Before becoming bishop of Verden, Conrad of Soltau (v. 1350-1407) studied at Prague, where he became master and professor of theology, then rector of the University (1384/5). The chief sources of his commentary on the Psalms are Nicholas of Lyra and the Glossa Ordinaria. The remainder of the manuscript contains various theological texts: excerpts from the Psalter (pp. 212-216), the Articuli de Passione Christi (pp. 218-244), the first page of a calendar (p. 348), an excerpt from a martyrology (pp. 350-354), Jacobus de Voragine’s sermons for Lent (pp. 368a-429b) and the Legenda s. Verena (pp. 464a-477b). Many blank pages interrupt the various texts of this volume, copied by many different hands. The ownership mark on p. 1: Dis Buch ist Anthoni Gaisberg likely signifies Anton Gaisberg, father of Franz (ca. 1465-1529), abbot of St. Gall (1504-1529). It is certainly through Franz, a great lover and patron of manuscripts, that this work entered the Abbey Library of St. Gall.(rou)
