Gregorius Magnus Geschrieben von dem Angelsachsen Peregrinus
(146v)
Fragment Extent:
146 Blatt - Pergament Alternative Title:
Cim. 305 Abstract:
Englische Version: This eighth century manuscript is a prominent
example of the Anglo-Saxon heritage of Bavaria and, more
specifically, of Munich. It is an incomplete copy of Pope Gregory
the Great's allegorical exegesis of the Book of Job, part six. The
manuscript of nearly 300 pages was written almost entirely by the
Anglo-Saxon scribe Peregrinus ("Foreigner"), who tells us in an
explanatory colophon (folio 146 verso) both his name and the fact
that he worked in the scriptorium at Freising (Bavaria) under
Bishop Arbeo, the founder of the cathedral library and bishop of
Freising from 764 to 783. Other scribes from Freising contributed
passages in early Carolingian minuscule only on a few pages. The
front page (folio 1 verso) is decorated with an architectural
border, constructed of four arcades that are supported by colored
pillars with terraced capitals and bases, as they are commonly used
in canon tables. In each of the spaces below the two left arcades
an animal looking backwards can be seen. The text begins on leaf 2
recto with a large insular initial "S" (for sancti), decorated with
interlace and terminating in animal heads. The Freising ex-libris
in the upper margin, "Iste liber est sanctae Marie et sancti
Corbiniani Frisinge" (This is the book of the holy Mary and of
Saint Corbinian, Freising) dates from the 12th century. The book
remained in the cathedral library in Freising for more than a
millennium before it was transferred to the court library in
Munich, the predecessor of the Bavarian State Library, in 1803. //
