Englische Version: 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. // Autor: Karl-Georg Pfändtner Subjects:
