Unziale und Halbunziale in Bobbio

Abstract

Of the approximately 700 codices that Bobbio owned in the IX. Century, only a small fraction of barely 200 units has survived. Most of them are distributed today amongst the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana and the University Library of Turin. Of the uncial and semi-uncial manuscripts that were once part of the Bobbio library, around 50 codices or fragments have survived. How many of them were written in Bobbio cannot be said with certainty.
