Memorial and confraternity book, evangeliary, treasure and book inventory, cartulary, archive for legal texts and monastery rules – the fascinating Liber viventium Fabariensis combines all these functions within its 178 pages. Created in the early 9th century at #Pfäfers Abbey in what is now the canton of St. Gall, this #manuscript is one of the most important sources on the social, political, economic, cultural, and religious history of #medieval Raetia Curiensis. It is one of only seven surviving fraternity books from the early #middleages and contains the oldest written record of the community of #Ticino. However, it is not “only” its content that is remarkable, but also its extraordinarily elaborate #illumination, which is considered the artistic highlight of medieval book illumination in the region and makes the codex enormously valuable in terms of art history. This artistic manuscript thus provides a truly unique insight into the Early Middle Ages between the Romance world of Southern Europe and the Germanic world of Central and Northern Europe.
