Annotatori e correttori del De civitate Dei a Reims nel IX secolo

The contribution analyses the marginal glosses to Augustine’s De civitate Dei in the manuscript Bourges, Bibliothèque municipale, 94 (84), produced in Reims in the last third of the 9th century. Through a palaeographic and philological investigation, the author distinguishes three layers of annotations: the first coincides with notes copied from the antigraph; the second highlights expressions notable for style or lexicon; the third is attributed to a particularly learned reader-corrector, who intervenes with corrections, synonyms and grammatical comments. Of particular interest is a note on the formula trina deitas, associated with the Carolingian debate opposing Gottschalk of Orbais to Hincmar of Reims.
