About this title

Synopsis

Exploring the Codex Sangallensis: A window into Old Latin gospels

This study analyzes the Latin text of the Sangallensis alongside its Greek counterpart, shedding light on how early Latin renderings relate to the Greek. It examines how the manuscript’s Latin reads, differs, and sometimes preserves an older African-influenced tradition. The work highlights how such double translations inform our understanding of the Gospel text in antiquity, and what those readings reveal about the Latin tradition.

Readers will see concrete examples from John’s Gospel and other portions of the New Testament, with careful discussion of variants, not merely as textual curiosities but as clues to a primitive Latin rendering. The emphasis is on method and evidence, showing how to interpret marginal glosses, place-by-place readings, and the interplay between Latin and Greek in bilingual manuscripts. The analysis invites readers to think about how Latin became a distinct textual witness in a world shaped by Greek influence.

How the Sangallensis differs from the Vulgate and what that means for Latin textual history
Examples of genuine Old Latin readings and how they compare to Greek renderings
How glosses and colometry reveal the manuscript’s production and transmission
Method for evaluating Latin witnesses in the context of early Christian texts

Ideal for readers of textual criticism, manuscript studies, and the history of the Latin gospels.
