Grimalt Codex

397 in the abbey library of Saint Gall, containing poetic, liturgical, computistic, mythological, scientific and historical material, including a calendar and glossaries, in both Latin and Old High German.

[10] Qires I–II contain liturgies for Lauds and Litany;[11] prayers of acclamation for the health and salvation of Louis, Queen Emma, their children and the army;[12] sermons by Augustine of Hippo;[13] a summary set of annals covering the years 815–867;[14] and blessings for the ordeal of fire and boiling water.

[15] Quire III includes a hodgepodge of information, including a poem on days of the week; obituaries and annalistic notices scattered throughout; two medical recipes for curing fever; a horologium; the Greek alphabet; two sets of Egyptian days; the Frankish names of the months; the names of the winds; a poem on Queen Hildegard; the treatise De sex cogitationibus; the Exultet liturgy; and chapter 19 from Bede's De temporum ratione.

[18] Quire G is a grammatical and literary handbook, possibly the last part of the codex to come together on the personal initiative of Grimald.

[20] The Grimalt Codex contains the oldest surviving copy of the 'official' or 'A' recension of the Vita Karoli Magni, a biography of Charlemagne.
