Gloriatur inlustris propheta Dauid. A Pseudo-Augustinian Homily Consisting of an Unedited Sermon on Ps. 14 and an Unknown Old Version of the Pseudo-Augustinian Sermo de decem talentis (CPPM 1, 1721)

This article discusses the origin, transmission, and content of the pseudo- Augustinian Sermo de decem talentis (on Luke 15:8–9; CPPM 1, 1721), first published in 1852 by Angelo Mai (Sermo Mai 113a) and re-edited in 2020 by Javier Soage (Revue bénédictine, 130 [2020], pp. 288–90). It also offers a critical edition (with content discussion) of a hitherto unpublished alternative version of the Sermo de decem talentis preserved in two old manuscripts neglected by Mai and Soage: Sankt Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 230, s. VIII2/2 (or. Sankt Gallen), and Einsiedeln, Stiftsbibliothek, 281, s. IX2/3 (or. Switzerland or Northern Italy). This alternative version of the Sermo de decem talentis was already partly known through a prayer in the so-called Breuiarium Gothicum (Santo Domingo de Silos, Archivo del Monasterio, 6, s. XI), which was edited by Ismael Fernández de la Cuesta in 1965 (El “Breviarium Gothicum” de Silos, Madrid/Barcelona, 1965, pp. 88–89; CCSL 160I, oratio 6425). In the manuscripts of Sankt Gallen and Einsiedeln, the alternative version of the Sermo de decem talentis is merged with (part of ) a still unpublished sermon on Psalm 14. Both texts (the homily on the psalm and the alternative version of the Sermo de decem talentis) have been edited at the end of this article as they appear in the manuscripts of Sankt Gallen and Einsiedeln (viz. as forming one single item), but the Einsidlensis served as Leithandschrift.
