Kurzaufnahme einer Handschrift Extent:
I + 112 Bl. - Pergament Abstract:
Englische Version: Rupert of Deutz, also known as Rupertus
Tuitiensis (circa 1075-1129), was the abbot of the Benedictine
monastery of Saint Heribert at Deutz (today part of Cologne,
Germany). He is known for being an influential theologian whose
extensive literary works on liturgical topics had a considerable
influence on other theologians in the German-speaking lands. One of
his main works, De divinis officiis (On the divine services), is an
interpretation of the symbolism of the liturgy. This manuscript,
which was probably produced in or near Deutz in around 1127 and was
dedicated to Bishop Kuno of Regensburg, contains two outline
drawings, one of Abbot Rupert and Bishop Kuno together with a
cleric named Stephanus (folio 1 recto), and the other a quite
famous portrait of Rupert (folio 1 verso). Although the manuscript
was not produced in the Regensburg region, it exerted great
influence on illumination in Bavaria and Salzburg in the 12th
century. From the 12th to the early 19th centuries, it was kept in
the Benedictine monastery of Saint Emmeram in Regensburg before it
was transferred, in connection with the monastery's dissolution, to
the royal court library in Munich, the present-day Bavarian State
Library. // Autor: Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Subjects:
