Description

• This manuscript contains a glossed Book of Genesis. The glosses are that of the Glossa Salomonis (Salomo's Gloss), a commentary on the Book of Genesis, attributed to Salomo III Ranschwag (b. 890, d. 922), Bishop of Constance and abbot of St Gall. It survives in three English manuscripts (see Hutton Sharp, In Principio (2015), esp. pp. 238-239). The manuscript was produced at the Cistercian abbey of Rievaulx in North Yorkshire, where it most likely remained until the monastery’s dissolution in 1538. The manuscript then appears to have been passed among regional families. Contents: ff. 1r-106v: the Book of Genesis with marginal and interlinear Glossa Salomonis.Decoration:1 large initial in red ink (f. 1r). Small initials in red ink.
