Description: | Remigius (d.908) was a Benedictine monk who taught at the monastery of Auxerre. His writings include several biblical glossaries and commentaries. This 'Interpretation of Hebrew Names' found in the Bible was commonly added at the end of Bibles made in the 13th century: it lists the Hebrew names alphabetically, and gives their Latin equivalent. For example, 'Rachel' means a ewe, 'Noah' means rest, 'Isaac' means he laughs, and so on. This manuscript has the medieval ownership inscription of St. Werburg's Abbey, Chester.
