Volume / Number: 7 / 988

• Sankt Gallen Switzerland Stiftsbibliothek 1395 (p. 418–419, 422–423, 426–427)

Written presumably in Ireland. The rest of the manuscript (or manuscripts) was presumably discarded at St Gall, since it is there that the surviving leaves were found and inserted in the present miscellany.

Script is a bold, round, but not very regular Irish majuscule: R is the rule; d, n, and S are more frequent than ꝺ, N, and ꞅ. Benedictions were entered in ninth-century Irish minuscule on p. 423. Pp. 418–419, apparently from a different manuscript, measure ca. 218 × 178 mm., the decorated frame ca. 190 × 145 mm. Ornamentation: a portrait of Matthew and his symbol, enclosed in an ornamental frame in bright colours, fills p. 418. Vellum of Insular type. A charm written by two ninth-century hands in compressed Irish majuscule stands on p. 419.
