The Codex Egberti is not only the oldest #codex worldwide, which presents the wondrous and painful story of the life and deeds of Christ in pictures, but is simultaneously one of the most exciting and splendid codices that was created during the artistic epoch of Ottonian #illumination. The work was created in the #scriptorium of the Reichenau monastery between 980 and 993 at the behest of Egbert, Archbishop of Trier. Two monks from Reichenau worked under the direction of the so-called Gregory Master, and the unbelievably precious #manuscript reveals dreamlike, spiritual #miniatures adorned in high-quality colors with rich gold and silver.
