AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: The Landgrave Psalter (Facsimile)
Language: Latin
The book is a handmade production and binding, it lacks a publisher and a year of production. The craftsman took only the facsimile and bound it luxuriously in brown goat leather, with silk flyleaves.
Description: (facsimile) The Landgrave's Psalter. An illuminated manuscript from the early 13th century, belonging to the State Library of Württemberg.
Unique artisanal binding in full brown goat leather. Flat spine.
Flyleaves in white tissue paper
Pagination: approximately 384 pages
Dimensions: 15 cm x 19.5 cm
About the work: The Landgrave's Psalter is a liturgical masterpiece of early Gothic created probably between 1211 and 1213 in the Thuringia and Saxony region.
This magnificent manuscript of early Gothic illumination was commissioned by Landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia for his second wife, Sophia.
It was commissioned by Hermann I of Thuringia and Hesse, a ruthless ruler in political matters but a great patron of the arts, who appears depicted in the book alongside his wife Sophia.
The manuscript contains the Psalms, a calendar with representations of the apostles and rural scenes, hymns, a litany of saints, and a service for the dead. After the death of the landgrave, the manuscript belonged to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, who moved it to Marburg. After a somewhat unclear historical journey, the manuscript passed through the Weingarten Abbey and since the early 19th century has belonged to the State Library of Stuttgart.
