Overview"This text explains, historically and with illustrations, the origins and momentum of the German art movement of Ottonian book illumination. It shows through this movement how religion and political ideology were intertwined in Ottonian culture from about 950 to 1050. Besides dealing with such great imperial books as the ""Gospel Book of Otto III"" and the ""Pericopes Book of Henry II"", as well as other liturgical manuscripts, this volume discusses the great art-loving bishops like Egbert of Trier and Bernard of Hildesheim, whose aims and personalities are expressed in the books they commissioned. The most important art centres of the Ottonian Empire - Reichenau, Cologne, Fulda and Corvey - are also discussed." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Henry Mayr-HartingPublisher: Brepols N.V.
