A new witness of the third recension of ps.‐ M ethodius' Revelationes: W inithar's manuscript S t G allen, S tiftsbibliothek, MS 238 and the role of R ome in human history

Abstract

Winithar, monk and decanus at Saint‐Gall in the second half of the eighth century, is known to modern scholarship as the writer of one charter and of several manuscripts. This article focuses on Winithar's autograph St Gallen 238, arguing that its various texts were in part collected and copied, and in part perhaps composed by Winithar himself, in light of a specific editorial plan. In this plan, the text entitled De gentibus, a new witness of the Revelationes by ps.‐Methodius in its so‐called third recension, confers on the Romans of Rome the leading role among western peoples until Judgement Day.
