Sacrarium Sancti Galli, Vol. IV: Description of the festivities on the occasion of the transfers of catacomb saints to churches and monasteries of the Princely Abbey of Saint Gall in the 17th and 18th century
In this volume, written primarily in German, the St. Gall custos
Fr. Kolumban Brändle (1720−1780) as author and compiler and
Brother Gall Beerle (1734−1816) as scribe tell of the festivities
that occurred on the occasion of the transfer of catacomb saints to
the territory of the Princely Abbey of Saint Gall in the 18th
century. The general introduction (fol. Vr – fol. VIIIr) is
followed by sometimes extensive documentation about the transfers
of Benedict to the Capuchin Convent of St. Scholastica in Rorschach
in 1732 (fol. IXv−2v), of Justin to Gossau in 1743 (fol.
63v−68v), of Julian to the Capuchin Convent Notkersegg in 1748
(fol. 69v−77v), of Valentine to Goldach in 1761 (fol.
78v−129v), of Celestine to Waldkirch in 1763 (fol. 130v−167r),
of Clementia to the Benedictine Convent of St. Wiborada in St.
Georgen in 1769 (fol. 168v−226v), of Theodorus to Neu St. Johann
in 1685 (fol. 228v−237r), of Placidus, Felicissimus, Victor,
Prosper and Redempta to Neu St. Johann in 1689 (fol. 238v−246r),
about the centenary of the transfer of Theodorus to Neu St. Johann
in 1755 (fol. 247r−265r) and the centenary of the transfer of
Marinus to Lichtensteig in 1757 (fol. 266v−291r), as well as
about the transfer of Theodorus to Berneck in 1766 (fol.
292v−352v). These descriptions are accompanied by watercolor
paintings of the catacomb saints dressed in festive garb. In
addition the volume contains records, documents and reports about
the authorization obtained from Rome to venerate Eusebius of
Viktorsberg as a saint in the territory of the Princely Abbey of
Saint Gall (fol. 3v−54v) as well as about the order of the
Pancratius-procession in Wil in 1738 (fol. 55r−62v). The volume
also contains a little-know ink sketch of Iberg Castle near Wattwil
(fol. 238v).
