Es ist abscheulich, dass dieser berühmte Paläograph keine Vorsorge getroffen hat, dass diese Stücke, die er für Lehrzwecke erhielt - "Antiquariat Wöfle, Munich, given to Bernhard Bischoff (1906-91), for his teaching collection." - an die öffentliche Hand gelangten.Lot 25Gregory the Great, Moralia in Job, in Latin, in Rhaetian minuscule, decorated manuscript on vellum [Switzerland (perhaps Chur), late eighth or early ninth century]Estimate: 20,000 - 30,000 GBPLOT SOLD. 22,500 GBP"Examples of the script are of extreme rarity: only 9 manuscripts and 15 fragments are recorded by Codices Latini Antiquiores VII and VIII (all but one fragment in institutional ownership). To these should be added the tiny fragments from a commentary on Matthew, c.800, now Schøyen MS 1764, and the handful of leaves and fragments from a liturgical manuscript of c.800 in a hand showing influences of Rhaetian minuscule, recovered from a Donaueschingen binding (Quaritch, Bookhands VIII, cat.1348, no.62) and now in two private collections."
