Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. 1193

Parchment — 128 fol. fols. — Mondsee — s. IX¹ (add. s. XI)

The manuscript contains apart from the four gospels, the Eusebian canon tables - providing the concordance between the gospels; the capitulare at the beginning records the readings from the gospels during mass throughout the whole year --(NB! to compare with the Homiliarium in Cod. 1557, Cod. 1014 - if the readings match the homilies order there. Cod. 1557 was supposedly copied from Clm 14386 written in or around Regensburg - if the readings match, the collection might have originated in Mondsee - not very probable though). Readings begins for the time of Christmas, February, March, then with rubric "Incipiunt lectiones euangelii a septuagisima [!] usque in pascha". Possible match with the Würzburg comes ff. 10v-16v (see G. Morin, "Liturgie et basiliques de Rome au milieu du VIIe siècle d'après les listes d'évangiles de Würzburg", in: Revue benedictine 28 (1911), S. 296-330. That the mansucript was used for the readings during Mass throughout the year (instead of a lectionary containing selected readings from the four Gospels) is also attested by the (later) added interlinear letters "c", "t" and "a" which mark a special reciting practice for the Passion readings, where different monks recited the verses in which the evangelist, Christ or other characters (the disciples) speak. Compare with a fragment from a Lectionary now in Newberry Library, Medieval Manuscript Fragment 4 - written in south-eastern Germany in the early ninth century ( Raymond Clemens and Timothy Graham, Introduction to Manuscript Studies (Ithaca, NY: 2007), 140-141). Cod. 1193 the typical ruling in two columns with three vertical dividing lines in between - also present in the bible fragments in Linz.

Layout: fols 1-10 written in two columns, 34 lines. Written space: 260-265 × 145 mm 7,5 Direct ruling on superimposed leaves, on every two leaves from mid quire on flesh side // on one bifolium every two. Pricking for the intercolumn lines often visible in the lower edge (e.g. f. 22) - also only on every second leaf. One bifolium was pricked, then superimposed over another and the two ruled simultaneously. Pricking for lines ff. 72, 73 - on the vertical line - not visible elsewhere. Text block framed left and right by double vertical lines (distance 7-8 mm) reaching the edges; the two columns are separated by three vertical lines (distance in between 8-9 mm) also reaching the leaf edges; above and below the text block are simple horizontal lines reaching the leaf edge. System according to D. Muzerelle, De re rigatoria: Mastara, formula 2-2-111/0/1-1/JJ.

fols 11-14 written in 35 long lines. Written space: 270 × 143 mm 7,5 mm The text block is framed on the sides by double vertical lines, above and below by single horizontal one: D. Muzerelle, De re rigatoria: Mastara, formula 2-2/0/1-1/J.

fols 21-128 Written space: 280 × 145 mm, written in two columns (60-63 mm), 31 lines (9 mm; x-height about 1,8 mm mm). Ruling system as on fols. 1-10. Prickings for the horizontal lines cut off, for the vertical lines visible on the lower edge on some leaves (f. 22, 30). Ruling method: on one bifolium every two. direct ruling on the flesh side on one biflolium every two (in a quire of four double leaves ruling on the innermost and the third bifolium counted from the middle).

Script: Carolingian minuscule written by several hands. Rubrics in red and green Uncial and Capitalis rustica. Capitalis Quadrata in Gold and Silver at the beginning of the Gospels.

On some passages added interlinear for reciting directions - see fol. 102r. The letter "c" (abbreviating probably cantor) is used to mark those sections where the evangelist narrate the story; "t" for the verses in which Christ himself speaks, "a" for the verses in which character(s) other than Christ speak. These annotations are present in the passages used for Passion readings during Lent and Easter:

fols. 101vb, line 30 - 104ra, line 3 (Lc 22,35-23,49)

12 Canon tables presented as an arcade framework: a series of four or three arches supported by columns with capitals column base.

Binding: Carolingian binding with thick wooden covers. 16,5 mm thick
