A Glossed Psalter Before the Glossa Ordinaria: University of Pennsylvania MS Codex 1058 Organizer: E. Ann Matter, University of Pennsylvania
In 2007, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries acquired a very small glossed Psalter, dated around 1100, from France, perhaps Laon. Now known as MS Codex 1058, this tiny book has been the subject of two graduate seminars and a digital project at Penn. Using scanned images to investigate details of the script and commentary, this workshop will consider what this book can tell us about the role of glossed Bible texts in medieval schools, and the development of the Glossa Ordinaria to the Psalter.
