Englische Version: This manuscript originated in the monastery of
Saint Gall in eastern Switzerland in the late-ninth or early tenth
century. Because of its typical style of decoration, it has been
ascribed to the "Sintram Group" of manuscripts, after the scribe
and calligrapher Sintram, who was active at Saint Gall in the ninth
century and whose handwriting was known and admired in much of
Europe. This decoration consists of an impressive script in
monumental (square) capitals, the interspaces of which are filled
with gold and silver, two-line rustic capitals, and uncial script
or monumental capitals in gold at the beginning of texts. The canon
tables display rows of arcades, drawn in red ink and decorated with
floral and geometrical motifs filled in bright blue, gold and
silver. The numerous initials are usually decorated with gold or
silver floral or animal motifs or interlace. The miniatures in this
manuscript, however, are not typical of the famous Carolingian
school of Saint Gall and have been linked to exemplars from the
court school of Charles the Bald (823–77). Two of the portraits
of the evangelists, those of Mark and John, are preserved and are
fine examples of Carolingian painting.
Als Träger und Vermittler des Wort Gottes und als liturgisches
Buch war das Evangeliar im frühen Mittelalter das wertvollste Buch
überhaupt. So wundert es nicht, dass diese Handschriften oft
prachtvoll ausgestattet wurden. Zu ihnen gehört auch das
Evangeliar aus Windberg. Der Codex wurde im späten 9. und frühen
10. Jahrhundert im St. Galler Skriptorium hergestellt und seine
Ausstattung zählt zu dessen größten Leistungen. Dazu gehören
acht Kanontafeln zur Gegenüberstellung der gleich lautenden
Textstellen der vier Evangelien, ferner zwei ganzseitige
Evangelistenbilder sowie eine Incipitseite und vier große, reich
verzierte Initialen in Gold und Silber. Die monumentalen Figuren
der Evangelisten und ihre Symbole sind in kräftigen Farben sehr
plastisch und malerisch dargestellt. Das Evangeliar kam aus dem
Prämonstratenserkloster Windberg um 1803 in die Münchner
Bibliothek. // Autor: Béatrice Hernad // Datum: 2016 Publication Statement:
