The Gospel Lectionary from Saint Peter in the Black Forest is a Christian liturgical manuscript of readings from the biblical accounts of the life of Christ for use at Mass, the sacrament at which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed. Produced in Germany around 1200, the manuscript features twelve imposing full-page miniatures of scenes from the life of Christ and early Church history in a palette dominated by bright blue and gold leaf. Each miniature is followed on the facing page by a painted initial—historiated, inhabited, or decorated.

We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Gospel Lectionary from Saint Peter in the Black Forest": Das Evangelistar aus St. Peter facsimile edition, published by Feuermann Verlag, 1961

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
