Gospel Book
A Gospel Book, a Latin manuscript of the Gospels copied by hand on vellum around 950, held by a Swiss library and digitised by e-codices for church and scholarly use. The first picture is a tall orange interlace initial with a looping knotwork band beside a rubricated text column; the second shows an enthroned evangelist seated under an arch with a winged lion above him, a model for designers of medieval strapwork borders and framed figures.
