Gumbertus Gospels
The Gumbertus Gospel is an illuminated Carolingian manuscript that was written in northeastern France between 850 and 875. Today it is kept in the University Library of Erlangen under the signature Ms. 10 / 1–2 . The gospel book was named after the Franconian local saint Gumbertus , who founded a monastery ( St. Gumbertus ) in Ansbach around 748 . The manuscript was originally one volume, but was bound in two parts in the 12th century. The goldsmith's work on the binding from the 12th century is a rare evidence of a southern German enamel work of this time.
The Gumbertus Gospel was part of the exhibition The Gumbertus Bible. Golden imagery of the Romanesque from May 1 to July 27, 2014 in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg.
