Latin text

The Latin version seems a mixture of the Vulgate with Old Latin Itala, and altered and accommodated to the Greek as to be of little critical value. The interlinear Latin text of the codex is remarkable for its alternative readings in almost every verse, e.g. ''uxorem vel coniugem'' for την γυναικα in Matthew 1:20.

History

The codex was written in the West, possibly in the St. Gallen monastery, by an Irish monk in the 9th century. It can not be dated earlier, because it has a reference to the (heretical) opinions of

Gottschalk Gottschalk or Godescalc ( Old High German) is a male German name that can be translated literally as "servant of God". Latin forms include ''Godeschalcus'' and ''Godescalcus''. Given name * Godescalc of Benevento, 8th-century Lombard duke *Godesca ...

Theologische Studien und Kritiken (1836), pp. 465-469. It was examined by Martin Gerbert (1773), Scholz, Rettig, J. Rendel Harris, Oscar von Gebhardt. Rettig thought that Codex Sangallensis is a part of the same manuscript as Codex Boernerianus. The text of the codex was edited by H. C. M. Rettig in 1836, but with some mistakes (e.g. in Luke 21:32 οφθαλμους instead of αδελφους). There are references made to the opinions of Gottschalk († 866) in Luke 13:24; John 12:40, and to Hand Aragon († 941). C. R. Gregory, "Textkritik des Neuen Testaments", Leipzig 1900, vol. 1, p. 87. The codex is located in the Abbey library of St. Gallen (48) at St. Gallen.
