Cutbercht Gospels

It was copied and illustrated by an Englishman named Cutbercht (Cuthbert) at Saint Peter's Abbey in Salzburg.

[1] Matthew's pose and the colour scheme of the portraits has been compared to the contemporary frescoes in the church of Sant Miquel in Terrassa.

[6] The ornamentation of the text is in the Insular style with some motifs also found in Coptic textiles.

[1] The gospel book was produced in Salzburg,[1][7] although older scholarship sometimes located it in Mercia or Northumbria.

[4][9] Cutbercht may be the scribe responsible for a now fragmentary manuscript of the prophetic books from Kremsmünster (Stiftsbibliothek, Fragm.I/1).
