Summary

Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, M. 79 sup. contains the fullest surviving version of the collections of biblical glosses which have been printed above. However, several additional manuscripts preserve less extensive selections of material from the original collections. These less extensive collections frequently preserve glosses not preserved in the Milan manuscript, and therefore provide a valuable indication that the original collections were somewhat more extensive than those in the Milan manuscript (see above, p. 292). By the same token, these additional manuscripts often preserve correct readings where the reading transmitted by the Milan manuscript is evidently corrupt. Most importantly, these additional manuscripts preserve explicit personal references at various points to Theodore and Hadrian, and thus provide striking confirmation of the Canterbury origin of the original collections of glosses. For these various reasons the biblical glosses in six additional manuscripts are printed below. The manuscripts in question are: (i) St Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 913 [= Sg]; (ii) Berlin, Staatsbibliothek der Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Grimm 132,2, frg. [= Br]; (iii) Leiden, Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit, Voss. lat. Q. 69 [= Ld]; (iv) Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek M. p. th. f. 38 [= Wbl]; (v) Würzburg, Universitätsbibliothek M. p. th. f. 47 [= Wb2]; and (vi) Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm. 14470 [= Mn]. Of these, St Gallen 913 and the Grimm fragment in Berlin preserve excerpts from the Leviticus glosses printed above as PentI 332–400; Leiden Voss. lat. Q. 69 has glosses corresponding to the collection designated Gn-Ex-Evla; and the two Würzburg manuscripts together with the Munich manuscript preserve independent versions of parts of the gospel glosses printed above as Evll.
