Lorsch Gospels - Facsimile Editions and Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts

Описание: Around 810 the famous court scriptorium of Charlemagne at Aachen produced a most splendid manuscript, a collection of the Four Gospels of the New Testament, created by the most outstanding artists of this epoch, a book which Charlemagne himself may have held in his hands: the Lorsch Gospels.
Described as euvangelium pictum cum auro scriptum habens tabulas eburneas (illustrated Gospel Book, written in gold, with ivory covers) it first appears in a book record of Lorsch Abbey dating back to around 860.
It is without doubt the most precious and well kept manuscript of the abbey which during seven centuries seemed to be used only at rare occasions in the cloister.
This manuscript remained unequaled in the abbey's library for a great many years, and the abbey's scriptorium also regarded the Gospels as an exemplary book, unsurpassed in its collections.
