Gneuss, Addenda and corrigenda to the Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts

The three sermons of Abbo of Saint-Germain are nos. 10, 12 and 13 (all abbreviated) in the edition of Ute Önnerfors, Abbo von Saint-Germain-des-Prés: 22 Predigten (Frankfurt a.M., 1985); unfortunately, the editor does not seem to have known any of the copies of Abbo’s sermons in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, with the exception of 814. See also J. E. Cross and Alan Brown, ‘Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés’, SASLC I, pp. 15–22, at 18–19.

Ker: OE notes and glosses added to Latin texts on pp. 17 ('se þe bið his fæder slaga'), 246 (interlinear gloss to antiphon 'In sudore uultus tui') and 265--6 (three interlinear glosses to Defensor of Ligugé: 'þurhbeorht', 'fram þysre worulde', and 'ascyred uel asyndrod'). Charm* added to p. 130 in s. xi2.

MR James: Neumes on flyleaf, and p. 259. Also pp. 253, 258, 247 (added text in marg.), 218-9.

Note that only reduced script is 'O redemptor' and 'Audi iudex', on p. 259, the first of which is neumed and the second not. But this same text is expanded on the flyleaf, with 'O redemptor' not neumed and 'Audi iudex' is. So flyleaf was bound between pp. 258--9 as aid to reador of that section?
