Abstract

THERE are not many manuscripts which can boast of complete facsimile reproduction. The Utrecht Psalter, along with the Gospel leaves attached to it, has been reproduced in its entirety and in the original size.1 A separate publication exists of its numerous illustrations.2 Many studies have been devoted to this manuscript and one entire book.3 Its chief interest lies not in its Biblical and liturgical texts (even though its Athanasian Creed once made the manuscript the subject of controversy and intense study), but in the lively and vigorous illustrations with which the Psalter abounds. The verve and artistic skill displayed in the drawings render the volume one of the most remarkable products of the entire Middle Ages.
