The scribes and illuminators of Reichenau Abbey in southern Germany were responsible for some of the greatest manuscripts of the Middle Ages and of the Ottonian period in particular. During the Ottonian age, splendid Reichenau manuscripts were created for high ranking clientele such as Otto III, Henry II, or Egbert, the Archbishop of Trier. The Reichenau Pericopes Book is one of the most impressive and beautiful manuscripts to be held today in the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel, where it is guarded like a public treasury – and rightfully so. Likely created on order of the German Emperor Henry II, its unique beauty lies in its captivatingly rich use of magenta and gold throughout. The #manuscript was likely donated by the Emperor to the monastery at Hildesheim after its archives were gutted by a fire on January 20th, 1013.
