A Fragment of Colossians with Hiberno-Latin Glosses in St. Gall, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. Sang. 1395

A fragment of the Epistle of Colossians, housed in St. Gall's Stiftsbibliothek (Cod. Sang. 1395), reveals significant insights into ninth-century Hiberno-Latin biblical exegesis and scribal practices. The manuscript, written in Irish minuscule, contains marginal glosses that trace back to Pelagius' Expositiones xiii epistularum Pauli, offering a rare glimpse into the transmission of this work. Some glosses remain unidentified, suggesting potential originality to the fragment. Paleographic analysis further supports the fragment's early provenance at the Abbey of St. Gall, providing evidence for shifts in exegetical and scribal practices during this period.
