Kurzaufnahme einer Handschrift Extent:
236 Bl. - Pergament Alternative Title:
Cim. 360 Abstract:
Englische Version: Together with two manuscripts in the Vatican
Library, this psalter preserves the so-called diacritical Milan
recension of the Psalms, which was carried out between the end of
the eighth century and the middle of the ninth century. The Psalms,
the core of the work, are preceded by a critical foreword on the
text and by other introductory matter; biblical canticles and hymns
in a typical Milan arrangement are annexed. According to recent
research, the present copy was produced as early as the last
decades of the ninth century in Milan, where the manuscript
remained for at least three centuries. It remains unclear how it
came into the ducal art collection in Munich, where it must have
arrived by 1580 at the latest; from there it was transferred to the
court library. Besides a full-page picture of David as Psalmist,
the manuscript is decorated with interlace frames and numerous
historiated and figured initials. The stylistic model is
Franco-Saxon illumination, here with regional variations.
Influences from late antiquity have been noted, particularly in the
treatment of the figures. // Autor: BSB, Abteilung für
