Codex Aureus of Lorsch Abbey. Illustrated manuscript from the time of Charlemagne
(multilingual subtitles) Manuscript "The Codex Aureus of Lorsch". Today we will go to the 8th century AD and talk about the European book miniature. I will tell you about the Codex Aureus of Lorsch.
The times that came after the collapse of the Roman Empire, historians call the dark ages of Europe. Luxurious frescoes, stained-glass windows ringing with colors, beautiful easel painting have failed to survive and show themselves to our eyes.
Many works of art were burned or destroyed in wars and robberies.
We can judge the fine arts of those centuries from the few illustrated books that have survived. Experts sometimes call such books "illuminated manuscripts".
King of the Franks Charlemagne patronized the arts and sciences. At the end of the 8th century in Germany, in the city of Aachen, a royal book-writing workshop was organized.
The Golden Codex of Lorsch is one of the most famous manuscripts that were produced there.
The Golden Codex was first mentioned in the catalog of the Lorsch abbey library. In the 10th - 12th centuries, the Lorsch library was one of the largest in the world.
