Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Zugl.: Baltimore, Md., John Hopkins Univ., Diss., 1995 "The Uta Codex is a Gospel lectionary made in the early eleventh century for the Niedermunster convent in Regensburg (Bavaria). Created at the behest of the abbess Uta, it is not only one of the most beautiful Ottonian manuscripts but also one of the most complex The collection of liturgical readings is preceded by four full-page frontispieces illustrating the Hand of God, Uta dedicating the codex to the Virgin and Child, a symbolic Crucifixion, and Saint Erhard (the convent's patron saint) celebrating Mass. Four evangelist portraits accompany the readings from each Gospel. In this study, Adam Cohen provides comprehensive explications of the codex's renowned illuminations as well as the first thorough investigation of its historical context." "The Uta Codex will be of interest to scholars of medieval art as well as those exploring questions of women, monastic culture, and intellectual life in the Middle Ages."--BOOK JACKET |
