Hands indexed:
Main hand Hand responsible for writing the biblical text.
Glossing hand 1 (prima manus) Hand which typically glosses individual words and is attested in places between ff. 6v and 33r. Most of the glosses are in Latin, some in Irish. The language is generally older than that of the other glossing hands. Opinion differs on the relationship between this hand and the main one. Thurn (1984), in the catalogue description, attributes both hands to a single scribe; Strachan (1901) argues that a common scribal identity “seems doubtful”.
Glossing hand 2 Hand responsible for most of the Irish and Latin glosses down to f. 32vb.
Glossing hand 3 Hand responsible for most of the glosses on ff. 33ra-34ra, in continuation of glossing hand 2.
Glossing hand 4 Ludwig Christian Stern, Epistolae Beati Pauli glosatae glosa interlineali: irisch-lateinischer Codex der Würzburger Universitätsbibliothek, in Lichtdruckherausgegeben (1910): xv identifies a fourth hand, which was responsible for only a handful of glosses.

Legend
Texts

Links to texts use a standardised title for the catalogue and so may or may not reflect what is in the manuscript itself, hence the square brackets. Their appearance comes in three basic varieties, which are signalled through colour coding and the use of icons, , and :

  1. - If a catalogue entry is both available and accessible, a direct link will be made. Such links are blue-ish green and marked by a bookmark icon.
  2. - When a catalogue entry does not exist yet, a desert brown link with a different icon will take you to a page on which relevant information is aggregated, such as relevant publications and other manuscript witnesses if available.
  3. - When a text has been ‘captured’, that is, a catalogue entry exists but is still awaiting publication, the same behaviour applies and a crossed eye icon is added.

The above method of differentiating between links has not been applied yet to texts or citations from texts which are included in the context of other texts, commonly verses.

Locus

While it is not a reality yet, CODECS seeks consistency in formatting references to locations of texts and other items of interest in manuscripts. Our preferences may be best explained with some examples:

  • f. 23ra.34: meaning folio 23 recto, first column, line 34
  • f. 96vb.m: meaning folio 96, verso, second column, middle of the page (s = top, m = middle, i = bottom)
    • Note that marg. = marginalia, while m = middle.
  • p. 67b.23: meaning page 67, second column, line 23
The list below has been collated from the table of contents, if available on this page,Progress in this area is being made piecemeal. Full and partial tables of contents are available for a small number of manuscripts. and incoming annotations for individual texts (again, if available).Whenever catalogue entries about texts are annotated with information about particular manuscript witnesses, these manuscripts can be queried for the texts that are linked to them.
