Two Fragments of Augustine’s In Iohannis evangelium tractatus from Lambach

Abstract

This article identifies a bifolium purchased at auction in 2024 as a fragment of a copy of Augustine’s treatise on the Gospel of John formerly held in Lambach Abbey and produced by the scribe Gottschalk of Lambach. On the basis of the discovery of this fragment and its comparison with the other known surviving leaf, held at the Beinecke Library (MS 481.93), a model is proposed for the structure and extent of the original volume.
