  • Blessed Marianus Scotus, abbot of St. Peter's at Ratisbon, was born in Ireland before the middle of the eleventh century; he died at Ratisbon towards the end of the eleventh century, around 1088. In 1067 he left Ireland, intending to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Like many of his countrymen, however, who visited the Continent, he decided to settle in Germany, at Bamberg, where he became a Benedictine monk. He went with some companions to Ratisbon, where he founded the the monastery of St. Peter (Kloster Sankt Peter Regensburg) and became its first abbot. After his death he was canonized and his feast-day is observed on 17 April, 4 July, or, according to the Bollandists, on 9 February. Marianus devoted himself to transcribing and glossing the text of the Scriptures. His success as a scribe, and the exceptional beauty of his calligraphy may be judged by a specimen of his work which has come down to us. This is Codex 1247 of the Imperial Library of Vienna containing the Epistles of St. Paul with glosses, some of which are in Latin and others in Irish. The latter were collected and published by Zeuss in his "Grammatica Celtica" (p. xxiv). The manuscript ends with the words "In honore individuae trinitatis Marianus Scotus scripsit hunc librum suis fratribus peregrinis…" (the date given is 16 May, 1078). Over the words "Marianus Scotus" is the gloss: "Muirdach trog macc robartaig", i.e. "Marianus miser filius Robartaci", or 'Marianus, son of Robart". The Irish form of his name was, therefore, Muirdach and his family name was Robartaig.
  • Marianus Scotus war ein irischer Mönch und Buchmaler, der Abt des Klosters St. Peter in Regensburg wurde. Er wurde in Donegal geboren und gehörte der Familie MacRobartaigh an, die mit der Familie O'Donnels verwandt war, die das Catach (Battle Book of Colmcille) in erblichem Besitz hatten. 1067 brach er mit einigen Gefährten zu einer Pilgerreise nach Rom auf. Auf dem Wege wurde er dafür gewonnen, als Benediktiner in das Kloster Michelsberg bei Bamberg einzutreten. Es wird berichtet, die Äbtissin Emma habe ihn wegen seiner hervorragenden Fähigkeiten in der Buchmalerei dafür gewonnen. Doch ging er dann weiter nach Regensburg, wo er das Kloster St. Peter gründete und als Illuminator viele bedeutende illustrierte Handschriften schuf, insbesondere die Paulusbriefe, die heute in der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek in Wien aufbewahrt werden (Cod. 1247). Wegen der Qualität und der großen Zahl seiner meist von ihm auch kommentierten Bibelhandschriften wurde er zu den Heiligen gerechnet.
