 the thirteenth century in the Royal Library at Brussels, No. -3176 (Ancien 

 7460), fol. 99 V, in which it is attributed to St. Gallus (cf. Chevalier,

 des Manuscrits de la Bibliotheque Eoyale de Belgique, V, 1905, p. 137). It 

 has been printed from this MS. by tlie Bollaudists (Catalogus Codicum 

 Hagiographicorum Bibliothecae Eegiae Bruxellensis, pars i, torn. 2, 1889,

 Joannes Scottus Eriugena, studied and edited by Eand (Johannes Scottus,

Two other Einsiedeln MSS., Nos. 27 and 234, are said by Pere Gallus 

 Morel (Sitziingsberichte der K. Akademie in Wieu, Phil.-Hist. Classe, Bd. 55, 

 1867, pp. 250-251] to contain writings of St. Columbanus, but this is doubt- 

 ful (cf. Meier, Catalogus, etc., pp. 18, 191). According to Seebass (Zeitschrift 

 fiir Kirchengeschichte, 15, 1895, p. 368n), MS. No. 27 would contain not the 

 Instructio Quinta of St. Columbanus, but St. Augustine's Serrao de corpore 

 et anima.
