This large-format manuscript from the 14th century contains the
oldest version of an illustrated copy of the so-called
Klosterneuburger Evangelienwerk, a German prose translation of the
Gospels, together with the Lives of the Apostles and various
Apocrypha from the New Testament. Over 400 pen and ink wash
drawings, irregularly interspersed throughout the manuscript,
accompany and illustrate the text.
