Hrabanus Maurus as revised by Walahfrid Strabo,
"Commentary on the Pentateuch"
[Ker App. 26, Gneuss -]
HISTORY: A late 9c St. Gall manuscript (ex libris, top of p. 2; cf. Bischoff 1967: 49) containing biblical commentaries by Hrabanus and Walahfrid Strabo, with OHG (Alemannic) glosses to Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (gll. ed. Steinmeyer-Sievers 1879-1922: cf. 4.447; ed. Schröter 1926: 54-55; on Walahfrid's works at St. Gall, see Brauer: 1926: 60-62); many are derived from the Theodoran tradition, most of those to Leviticus and Numbers embedding the fossilized 's' (sometimes written 'f ' ) for the original "s<axonice>" (cf. Schröder 1956/7: 199-213, esp. 205, and Mettke 1987 who suggests the 'f ' is for "f<rancice>"). There is one clear OE gloss (at p. 657, pr. Meritt 1945: 45, no. 37); on pp. 482-485 appear several A-S-derived glosses on bird names in Leviticus, related to those found in the 10c Hrabanus manuscript from Reichenau, Karlsruhe, Landesbibliothek, Aug. 231 (119) [145].
