Sacred Book Art<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

A book of pericopes contains the wording of the passages from the Gospels which are read at Mass during the liturgical year. In the Romanesque period, the Scriptures were highly venerated as the expression of the divine revelation. Reflecting the deep reverence for the texts it contains, the manuscript is luxuriously illuminated and furnished with a treasure binding. The manuscript of the Speyer Pericopes<\/em> and the binding are an inseparable whole. Thus, the golden figure of Christ on the front cover is not only an ornament but also an expression of the theological program. The same applies to the 16 miniatures sparkling with gold, depicting scenes from the life and passion of Christ, which were executed by the three illuminators from Speyer or Trier.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”35px||35px|” custom_padding_tablet=”||35px|” padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” parallax_method_3=”off” admin_label=”row” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Prachteinband SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n

The Treasure Binding<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Only a few Romanesque manuscripts have retained their original binding. Though the binding was thoroughly reworked around 1500, we are fortunate to see the Speyer Pericopes<\/em> with the original binding mostly preserved. The 10 niello plates and more than 50 precious stones, the enamelled glass stone and the antique gemstones on the front cover date from the period of origin. The figure of Christ enthroned in the central panel, however, was renewed in the Late Middle Ages and replaced by the current gilded silver figure. Stylistically the niello plates have been associated with the work of certain Trier goldsmiths from the time around 1220 which obviously also served as a model for the miniatures.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Custos Konrad SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n

Custos Konrad<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

The niello plate at the lower edge of the front cover bearing the inscription “CVNRAD[us] C[us]TOS” is generally considered a donor portrait. It shows a cleric in a monk’s habit lying on the ground. Raising his hands in adoration, he presents his book to the oversized figure of Christ above. The figure depicted has been identified as Konrad von Tann, cathedral custodian of Speyer. About 1220, he could have commissioned the production of a pericopes manuscript for the liturgical feast days celebrated in Speyer Cathedral. In addition to his religious motivation, such a generous gift would certainly help to further his career within the church hierarchy. In 1233, Konrad became Bishop of Speyer.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Cuonradus_Custos_Niello.jpg” alt=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Niello auf dem Vorderdeckel mit der Darstellung des Konrad von Tann” title_text=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Niello auf dem Vorderdeckel mit der Darstellung des Konrad von Tann” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Bild – Darstellung des Konrad von Tann SPE” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_divider color=”#eaeaea” show_divider=”on” divider_weight=”1px” height=”5″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ hide_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Sprungmarke und \u00dcberschrift %22Unter der Lupe%22 SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n

The design of the figures in the miniatures betrays influences from the Mediterranean and Byzantium, prevalent in the early 13th century primarily in the areas of the Rhine, Moselle and Meuse. These influences continued to have lasting effects on the style and aesthetics of the arts. The painters of the Speyer Pericopes<\/em> modelled their figures with individual facial features and arranged them in ways that illustrate the relationship between them. Visible progress was made in the anatomically correct representation of bodies or the swirling fall of drapery folds. New pictorial compositions attest to an expanded iconographic repertoire of the artists involved.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” padding_top=”10px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Beschreibung des Lupenbildes SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]In the full-page miniature on fol. 5v, the scene of the Nativity is placed not in a stable but in a cave. Both this and the intimate relationship between mother and child impressively represented here derive from Byzantine models. In the foreground, the Virgin Mary and Joseph are resting in front of the cave, among pointed rocky outcrops. From her seated position Mary lovingly turns around to the Christ Child lying in swaddling clothes in the cave. The manger, from which the ox and the donkey are feeding, is shaped like an altar. Above the rounded top of the cave, the Annunciation to the Shepherds is visible between some trees. The miniature expressively renders the sense of fear that overcame the shepherds and the beasts. From heaven above, the angels are singing “Gloria in excelsis Deo”.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_divider color=”#eaeaea” show_divider=”on” divider_weight=”1px” height=”5″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ hide_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”||25px|” padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” admin_label=”row” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Sprungmarke und \u00dcberschrift %22Edition%22 SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n

Sparkling Gold Areas<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Making the facsimile of the Speyer Pericopes<\/em> requires additional steps to reproduce the gold leaf applied to the large gold grounds of the miniatures and the initials. Since there is no technique adapted to distinguishing clearly the gold and silver areas from the colour surfaces, the lithographer has to prepare these parts painstakingly in separate print runs. Once the gold has been applied, some of the gold grounds have to be incised with an arabesque-like pattern. To reproduce convincingly the traces of ageing, a patination is finally applied.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SPE_31r_neu.jpg” alt=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Goldgrund mit feinster Ziselierung auf fol. 31r” title_text=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Goldgrund mit feinster Ziselierung auf fol. 31r” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”right” admin_label=”Bild – Herstellung 1 (Goldziselierung)” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”35px||45px|” padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” parallax_method_3=”off” admin_label=”row” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SPE_Untersuchung_Steine_neu.jpg” alt=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Untersuchung der Steine am Originaleinband” title_text=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Untersuchung der Steine am Originaleinband” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Bild – Herstellung 2a – Steine des Originaleinbands SPE” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SPE_Einbandmontage.png” alt=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Montage der einzelnen Elemente des Prachteinbands” title_text=”Speyerer Evangelistar, Montage der einzelnen Elemente des Prachteinbands” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Bild – Herstellung 2b – Prachteinband SPE” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Herstellung 2 – Replikat des Einbands SPE EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n

A Replica of the Binding<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

The facsimile binding of the Speyer Pericopes<\/em> is a faithful replica of the medieval treasure binding consisting of more than 150 components. Numerous specialists are needed to complete each copy. First, the front cover is recorded with a 3D scanner so that a three-dimensional mould can be constructed. Experts in metal casting and galvanization produce the three-dimensional figure of Christ and the ornament frame. Gemmologists choose suitable gemstones matching the original stones as closely as possible and make the replicas. Goldsmiths and engravers reproduce the niello plates.<\/p>\n
