Salzburg Pericopes

The Salzburg Pericopes (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Clm 15713) is a medieval Ottonian illuminated gospel pericopes made c. 1020 at St. Peter's Monastery, Salzburg, during the reign of Henry II, the last Ottonian Holy Roman Emperor.

It was made for Hartwig von Ortenburg, Archbishopric of Salzburg.

The manuscript contains 19 gilded miniatures, 70 richly decorated initials in addition to other illuminations.

In 1800, Napoleon's forces took it to Paris from Salzburg Cathedral.

It is now in the collection of the Bavarian State Library in Munich.
