The Codex Sangallensis 912 , also called The Palimpsestierte Abba-Ababus-Glossary , is one of the oldest manuscripts in the St. Gallen Abbey Library .
It comprises 158 sheets and is small in size (approx. 12.0 × 9.0). There is a modern number of pages, on page 3 there is a representation of a rhetorician in a speaking pose. On page 4 the glossary begins with Abba and his explanation Father . The Codex rescriptus was provided with a new text, a glossary , in the 8th century in the Abbey of Bobbio in Halbunziale .
Originally it concerns parts of a psalter and the book of Jeremias, plus excerpts from Donat and Terence , which were written in the 5th century. On pages 189–190 and 225–226 missing or illegible sections of the glossary were replaced on unused parchment around 800 by a St. Gallen scribe.
