Book/Printed Material Gospel Lectionary. Evangelia aliquot

About this Item

Title

  • Gospel Lectionary.

Other Title

  • Evangelia aliquot

Summary

  • This gospel lectionary was created around 1130. A lectionary is a liturgical book, which-in contrast to usual gospel books containing the full texts of the gospels-comprises only those parts of the gospels that are used for the liturgical readings during the ecclesiastical year, presented in chronological order. The book features two pen-and-ink-drawn initials, several decorated initials in gold and silver ink, and four full-page miniatures, each showing one of the four Evangelists. The style and coloring of the miniatures follow a Bavarian tradition of book illumination, the so-called Bavarian monastic school. This manuscript, intended for Altomünster Abbey in southern Bavaria, was most likely executed in the workshop of the Benedictine abbey of Weingarten.
