• Einsiedeln Switzerland Stiftsbibliothek 304 (514)

Written in the same important Rhaetian centre, presumably at Chur, which produced the Sacramentary St Gall 348 (CLA 7.936) in which Bishop Remedius (ca. 800) is commemorated. The manuscript was already at Einsiedeln in the fourteenth century, as is attested by the familiar 'maniculae' drawn in the margins by Heinrich von Ligerz, the librarian at Einsiedeln from 1324–1360 (see p. 144, 150, etc.).

Script is by several Rhaetian hands using the type seen in the fine Sacramentary St Gall 348 (CLA 7.936): broken-backed c occurs; the shaft of h often leans to the left and is sometimes curved; ligatures include ar, mi, nt, and ti (for hard ti); a more compressed script akin to charter hand is seen on p. 209 and 210. Unfamiliar words found in the text were entered and explained on p. 1 and 2, saec. IX in.
