Cohen-Mushlin, Aliza: Scriptoria in Medieval Saxony

St. Pancras in Hamersleben. Six manuscripts produced in the Hamersleben Scriptorium are thoroughly analyzed for their codicology, palaeography, text and illuminations. The style of script as well as the style and iconography of the illustrations are discussed in relation to those from other monasteries in Saxony. Of the fourteen scribeartists involved, one in particular stands out as responsible for the correct text and illustrations. The bold innovations of this master scribeartist are expressed especially in the decoration programmes of a Psalter and two Gospel books. The manuscripts produced in the Hamersleben Scriptorium were dispersed throughout the world or thought to be lost. 251 Seiten mit 30 Farb- und 132 s/w-Abb., Großformat, Leinen in Schuber (Harrassowitz Verlag 2004)
