Parchment — Mondsee — s. IX¹

The original manuscript was a copy of the Homiliarium of Alanus de Farfa, or a homiletic collection based on it. Preserved are only a few leaves, which were used as binding waste in late medieval manuscripts or early prints. There were several attempts to group these Mondsee homiletic fragments. H. Paulhart (Paulhart 1966) suggested the original manuscripts was a copy of Homiliarium Alani with additions from Homiliarium Pauli Diaconi. Bischoff (Bischoff 1980, pp. 20-22 and Bischoff 1998, p. 9) recognised two groups representing the remains of two distinct homiletic collections: one based on Homiliarium Pauli Diaconi (incl. the fragments:

• Admont, Stiftsbibl., Fragm. B 38
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 834
• Munich, BSB, Clm 18704 (pastedown)
• Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. Ser. n. 2066 (ff. 1-2).

and another based on the Homiliarium Alani (incl. the fragments:

• Linz, Museum, Kapuziner-Bibl. Fragm. 1
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 595
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 596
• Linz, OÖLA, Buchdeckelfunde 7, III.8e).

Etaix (Etaix 1996, p. 130) mentioned the following fragments as pertaining to a Mondsee homiliary: "Nous avons là quelques bribes d’un exemplaire d’Alain complète avec des homélies de Grégoire, qui ne proviennent pas de la collection de Paul Diacre, comme on l’a cru":

• Admont, Stiftsbibl., Fragm. B 38
• Linz, Museum, Kapuziner-Bibl., Fragm. 1
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 834
• Munich, BSB, Clm 18704 (pastedown)
• Vienna, ÖNB, Cod. Ser. n. 2066 (he knew only f. 1).

The fragment in Salzburg was first published 2008 by K. Forstner (Forstner 2008). Lukas Dorfbauer (Dorfbauer 2016) reevaluated the fragments collected by Bischoff together with the one in Salzburg and suggested that the original manuscript was an enlarged copy of Paulus-Diaconus-Homiliar. Working hypothesis: the fragments belong to two original manuscripts. The one listed below (F-ld8w) was a copy of Homiliarium Alani including the following fragments ordered according to content in Homiliarium Alani:

• Admont, Stiftsbibl., Fragm. B 38 (A 1,12)
• Vienna, Cod. Ser. n. 2066 (f. 2) (A 1,64; A 1,66).
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 595 (A 2,9)
• Linz, OÖLA, Buchdeckelfunde 7, III.8.e (A 2,20; A 2,21; A 2,23)
• Linz, OÖLB, Hs. 596 (A 2,45; A 2,46)
• Budapest, UB, U.Fr.l.m.3 (A 2,67)

Problem: Cod. Ser. n. 2066, f. 2vb has Leo M., Serm. 42 with rubricated numbering "LXXVIII" - in Homiliarium Pauli Diaconi 1,78, in Alani 1,66! Budapest, numbering Leo M. Sermo 92 as "CLXXI" - in Alani it is under nr. 2,68, in PD 2,83. Probably counting winter and summer sermons together. Alani has 94 in winter, 94+68=162; hypothesis - the homiliariy had additional sermons, or divided one sermon in two, hence the higher number 171 instead 162. The other fragments belong to a copy of Gregorius Magnus' Homiliae in evangelia (see reconstruction F-jyai).
