Volume / Number: 7 / 878

• Einsiedeln Switzerland Stiftsbibliothek 347 (975)

Written in a Rhaetian centre, probably the one that produced Einsiedeln 199 + 281 (CLA 7.875). Was already at Einsiedeln in the fourteenth century, as is attested by the familiar 'maniculae' drawn in the margins by Heinrich von Ligerz, the Einsiedeln librarian from 1324–1360.

Script is Rhaetian minuscule, by several hands, some recalling the style seen in St Gall 348 (CLA 7.936), some the type encountered in Einsiedeln 199 + 281 (CLA 7.875): the stem of h leans to the left and is s-shaped; y is dotted and goes below the line; z is tall, goes below the line, and its two horizontal strokes are cup-shaped; the barred z is seen on p. 406; ligatures include ni, nt (even in mid-word), ri, and ti (for hard and soft ti). A few probationes pennae in ninth-century minuscule (p. 393 f.).
