Copies of certificates of admission from the episcopal chancery in Konstanz for the pastoral care of St. Gall conventuals– Report about the laying of the foundation stone for the Renaissance library of St. Gall Abbey in 1551 – Creation of an altar cross for St. Gall Abbey by the goldsmith Thomas Gennius 1553
This manuscript, initiated in 1551 under Prince-Abbot Diethelm
Blarer (1530−1564; colored abbot’s coat of arms on p. 2) and
continued (in the first part) until 1571, consists of three parts.
The beginning (pp. 5-50) consists of copies of certificates of
admission for pastoral care of St. Gall conventuals in the
territory of the Diocese of Konstanz, issued by the episcopal
chancery in Konstanz between 1551 and 1571. The second part (pp.
131-134) gives a description of the laying of the foundation stone
for the Renaissance library of St. Gall Abbey on Juli 6, 1551; it
also lists the names of all persons present for this festive
ceremony. The Renaissance library was completed in 1553 and was
replaced with the late Baroque library between 1758 and 1767. The
third part (pp. 181-183) treats the creation of a large silver
altar cross by the goldsmith Thomas Gennius from Wil; St. Gall
Abbot Diethelm Blarer commissioned it in 1553 and had the sculptor
(sculptor?) Heinrich Reissi, who was from Rapperswil but was active
in Wil, carry it to St. Gall on his back in six hours. Also
mentioned are the saints relics kept in this cross. All traces of
the cross are lost during the liquidation of the assets of St. Gall
Abbey after the dissolution of the monastery in 1805. Between the
three parts and at the end, there are numerous empty pages (pp.
51−130; pp. 135−178; pp. 184−194).
