Überblickbeschreibung

A deluxe Tours Bible, by a master scribe with a carefully observed hierarchy of scripts, on exceptionally fine parchment. On Turonian origin, see Rand, Earliest Book , p. 120. According to the inscription on f. 1r, this ms. was presented to St. Peter's of Köln by Hermann, Abp. of Köln (890-923) ; Decker mistakenly identified this ms. with his nrs. 1-12 in the catalogue of 833, although if it could be identified with any entry in that catalogue, it would be the first item listed, above Decker's number 1 (op. cit. p. 224, also in facsimile after p. 251), which reads: "Bibliotheca in qua continentur omnes libri veteris ac novi testamenti." But because of the inscription regarding Herimann , and because of the paleographical dating of the manuscript to the mid-ninth century, the catalogue of 833 must refer to a different "Bibliotheca". See also Frenken , loc. cit.

Zustand und Zusammensetzung

Zustand
Strips cut out of bottom margins on some folia.
Lagenstruktur
[1], i-ii2, iii-iv8, v8-1 (one excised at front), vi-ix8, x6, xi-xvi8, xvii4, xviii-xxxvi8, xxxvii4, xxxviii-xl8, xli6, xlii-xliii8, xliv6, xlv-l8, li10-1 (one lost at end, expl. mut.),[1]. First two bifolia are in original location, but according to the later signatures, at one time quires i-ii seem to have been misbound between quires xlvii-xlviii, after f. 349, before the prologue to the Pauline epistles; also according to these quire signatures, at that time there should have been an additional quire before quire i or after xlvii, perhaps only two folia, which is now lost, and which would have contained either additional prologue(s) and/or decoration. ¶ Quires are signed by 14c(?) hand, with one letter at beginning of gathering, the next letter at the end of the gathering, the next letter at the beginning of the following gathering, and so forth; the letters are accompanied by the number of an alphabet series; the quires apparently were out of order when these signatures were written, since the first quire is numbered as if it were in the fifth alphabet series; thus the signatures appear as follows (on first recto/last verso of the indicated quires): "d5/e5"(i); "f5/g5"(ii); "a/a"(iii); "b/c"(iv) "z/a-ii"(xiv); "b-ii/c-ii"(xv) "z4/a5"(xlvii); "h5/i5"(xlviii) "m5/n5"(l); "o5"(li, on first recto only). Presumably a missing quire would have been signed "b5/c5" (before quire i or after xlvii).
Seiteneinrichtung
Written space: 370 mm x 274 mm ( 122 mm each column, 30 mm between columns. 51 lines (54 lines on f. 117v, so that book ends within gathering). 2 columns. Dry-point ruling, double bounding lines for each column, additional bounding lines in inner and outer margins for canon table references in quires xli-xlv (ff. 298-333); according to Rand and Jones (op. cit., p. 118), mostly new style ruling, with the following exceptions: three quires in old style and one quire half in old and half in new style, and seven quires irregular (quire iii is counted as quire I in Rand and Jones' numbering). prickings still present only for bounding lines (outer margins trimmed) text above top line. Scriptural book titles as running titles. Most prologues begin on new gatherings.

Schrift und Hände

9c littera carolina for Bible texts, semi-uncialis for prologues. On three folia (5ra-va, 334ra and 350ra-b, which are the prologues for Genesis, the Gospels, and Pauline epistles) the decorative hierarchy of scripts is extended, so that entire columns of text are in uncial. One hand for all scripts.
