Neue studien zur Evangelienhandschrift nr. 18 ("des Hl. Bernward Evangelienbuch") im domschatze zu Hildesheim; beiträge zur geschichte der buchmalerei im frühen mittelalter
A 1909 German scholarly study by Hanns Heinz Josten of the Gospel manuscript no. 18 at Hildesheim Cathedral, the Bernward Gospels, published in Strassburg by J. H. E. Heitz for art historians of early medieval manuscript painting. Its plates reproduce early medieval illuminations, including a seated evangelist scene, carpet pages with interlace and roundels, and decorative initial pages in black and white. A designer could draw on their dense knotwork borders, circular medallions and framed initial panels as models for ornamental pattern and page layout.
