Sang. 1401) from the years 1755/59. The front matter of this first volume consists of an account by Pius Kolb of his work with manuscripts and the first detailed account of the history of the Abbey Library of St. Gall. The manuscripts are ordered by subject area; this first volume contains individual manuscript listings, together with critical commentaries, for the Bibles, the Bible commentaries, the works of the church fathers, the works written by St. Gall authors, the Council records as well as the Rules of the Order and commentaries upon those Rules. In the back of the volume is a manuscript concordance indicating the previous and the new library signatures for each volume. This catalog was produced in conjunction with the application of a new library signature scheme to the manuscript collection.
