The source of the annotation is then given, and further comments are provided as necessary.Ī. The transcription below first gives the passage/element from the Expositio to which the annotations are tied by means of their position (A, D, E) or by signes de renvoi, and then the text of the excerpts as it is found in the manuscript in italics. 262v, it also added nota signs, made minor corrections, occasionally glossed the text, and most importantly these hands contributed also six larger annotations (A-F). This same series of hands added Cassiodorian sigla to some passages, e.g. Of these those that interests us here belong to scribes writing between the tenth and the eleventh century, whose annotating activity is first visible in fol. At least three, and probably more, other hands were active in the margin after the manuscript was produced. Many marginalia can be found in Clm 6253, starting from the critical sigla that were integral to the text itself and copied into Clm 6253 by the hand of the main scribe. Clm 6253, nevertheless, suggests that even the Expositio could have been occasionally annotated. ![]() Yet, Cassiodorus’ commentary itself did not attract annotators, at least none working very intensely, a fact easy to understand, given that the material from Cassiodorus was rather exported into Psalters and pandect Bibles. It is not surprising then, that, as Stoppacci shows in her overview of the transmission of the text, a copy of the Expositio was present in almost every major Carolingian monastic centre. 1005-1045) drew heavily on Cassiodorus, blending his exegesis with that of Augustine and, in case of the latter, of ps-Jerome. Younger, derivative commentaries such as the Breviarium of ps-Jerome (mid-seventh century) and the marginal commentary on the Psalms once attributed to Bruno of Würzburg (c. The centrality of Cassiodorus’ exposition, which was the only continuous exposition of the whole Psalter, is best attested by the fact that since the early medieval times, Cassiodorus’ running commentary was appropriated multiple times, including as a marginal commentary, as an epitomized one-book version and as tituli, i.e., short summaries of Psalms, which were attributed to Bede. Together with Augustine’s Ennaratio in Psalmos and with somewhat younger Glosa ex traditione seniorum (first half of the 7 th century) compiled from Patristic sources, Cassiodorus’ Expositio was the basic reference toolkit for the study of the Psalms up to the times of Lanfranc of Bec (11 th century) and of Anselm of Laon (d. Emmeram books from the period, a sign that we should speak not of a casual migration but a transplantation of a particular skilled individual from one center to another. The hand of the same scribe can be seen in many other St. Emmeram volumes might have been trained at Tegernsee, a foundation some 80 km south of Freising. This implies movement of books and/or people between the two intellectual centers, particularly since the copyist of the St. Bischoff dates their copying to the third quarter of the ninth century, i.e., shortly after the production of the Freising exemplars themselves. According to Bischoff, two surviving volumes of the Expositio Psalmorum from the Abbey of saint Emmeram in Regensburg, Clm 14077 and Clm 14078, were copied from the Freising volumes. Nevertheless, the three volumes of the Expositio were tied to other manuscripts in the area, and it cannot be excluded that they left Freising for short periods of time. The manuscripts, as it seems, were stationery as is evidenced by the ownership marks of the Freising cathedral from the twelfth (Clm 6254) and fifteenth century (Clm 6253). Originally, a complete set of three manuscripts was copied at Freising, but of these only the first two volumes survive, now Clm 6253 and Clm 6254. This period saw copying of as many as forty books identified by Bischoff and thus a significant growth of the scriptorium of the Freising cathedral. JahrhundertsĬlm 6253, the first volume of a three-volume copy of Expositio Psalmorum of Cassiodorus, was produced at Freising in the second quarter of the ninth century, during the times of Hitto (811/812-836) and his nephew Erchenbert (836-854). 2: Informationsverarbeitung in der Stadt des 12.1: Die Stadt des Mittelalters an der Schwelle zur Frühen Neuzeit.
