Englische Version: In the splendid manuscript known as the Saint
Erentrud Orational, Salzburg illumination reaches new heights.
Dating from the end of the 12th century, the codex consists of 155
parchment leaves. Although the manuscript comes from the Nonnberg
convent in Salzburg, liturgical features and the hierarchy of the
decorative elements indicate that it originally was intended for
the monastery of Saint Peter, or at least that it was created at
Saint Peter's, the oldest and most important of the Salzburg
monasteries. It is not known when the manuscript came into the
possession of the convent, which had close ties with Saint Peter's,
both being Benedictine foundations. The collection, arranged
according to the ecclesiastical year, contains capitula and
collects, and has an introductory calendar of feast days in
accordance with liturgical use. From the small initials for the
ordinary feast to the large initial miniatures on a figured purple
ground, the volume reveals throughout a studied and methodical
decorative scheme with a high stylistic level of realization. The
openness of Salzburg illumination to new achievements is clear from
the renewed confrontation with Byzantine art, the influence of
which is particularly evident in the images of the Virgin in the
manuscript. // Autor: Elisabeth Klemm Subjects:
