Description

Einband leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebr�t. Nicht aufgeschnitten. Nachlass Michael Richter. - The Book of Mulling is an Irish pocket Gospel Book from the late 8th century. The text collection includes the four Gospels, a liturgical service which includes the "Apostles' Creed", and in the colophon, a supposed plan of St. Moling's monastery enclosed by two concentric circles. The script is a fine Irish minuscule. This is in fact one of the latest surviving documents to use the high style in Illuminated manuscripts. The decoration includes illuminated initials and three surviving Evangelist portraits: those of Matthew, Mark and John. Its jewelled shrine (cumdach) is also preserved at Trinity College.
