3ra-298vb, Remigius of Auxerre - In Matthaeum

Link to digitization: here.
Here with a now mutilated “capitulatio” written by another younger hand on fol. 1r and a now half-cut title “Expositio Beati Remigii Super Matheum ;.” added by a later hand on the upper margin of fol. 3r. The manuscript was in possession of Pau Ignasi de Dalmases i Ros (1670–1718) and came in 1916 with the collection of this noble Barcelona family (bearing there the shelfmark “D 151”) to the Biblioteca de Catalunya. At present, we cannot prove that the manuscript belonged to a Catalan religious institution or person during the Middle Ages, since it could be a purchased book during the nobleman’s European journeys. The parchment book-binding is typical for the Library of Dalmases: DE BOFARULL Y SANS 1890, p. 71 sq. (“de principios del siglo XIV”); D’ALÒS I MONER 1916, p. 39 (“REMIGIUS, monjo de S. Germain d'Auxerre, ‘Super Matheum’ … Segle XIII.è”) and fig. 3 (fol. 9ra/rb; here still the old fol-number “6”); DOMÍNGUEZ Y BORDONA 1933, 1, p. 49 no 77 (“S. XII”) and p. 53 fig. 53 (fol. 3r); VILAR I COSTA 1936, p. 269 n. 1 and p. 270–281 (p. 270: “lletra carolíngia del segle XI clara i molt igual”); STEGMÜLLER 1955, p. 74 sq. no 7226, here p. 74; Guía de la Biblioteca Central 1959, p. 74 (“S. XIII”); El arte románico 1961, p. 21 no 35 (“Italia central, siglo XI”) [MERCEDES RIBAS Y BOIXEDA]; BARRÉ 1962, p. 125 sq. with n. 14 and 16; BOHIGAS I BALAGUER 1964, p. 40 and 45; RÄDLE 1974, p. 156 n. 31; STEGMÜLLER/REINHARDT 1977, p. 368–370 no 7226, here p. 370 (“XI”); Bibliophile Kostbarkeiten 1986, p. 223 no 2, p. 226 and cover; MUNDÓ I MARCET 1988, p. 111 n. 75; JEUDY 1991b, p. 467 (“ital., centre-nord”); TAX 1991, p. 421 sq.; Bibliographica 1993, p. 18, 21 and p. 59 no 10 (“segle XI”); PLADEVALL I FONT e. a. 1997, p. 448 and fig. (fol. 3r) [ANSCARI MUNDÓ I MARCET/ANNA GUDAYOL I TORELLÓ]; GORMAN 2002b, p. 287 (“Barcelona 548 could be well product[s] of the scriptorium of Monte Amiata”) and p. 288 with n. 181; España medieval y el legado de Occidente 2005.
