Commissioned by Herman I, Landgrave of Thuringia, and his second wife, Sophia, Duchess of Bavaria, the Saint Elizabeth Psalter is one of the earliest in a distinguished line of deluxe Christian psalters created for the German-speaking aristocracy of the thirteenth century. Made in the early years of the century, perhaps at the Benedictine monastery at Reinhardsbrunn, the manuscript is sumptuously illuminated with fifteen full-page miniatures and seven smaller miniatures and historiated, inhabited, and decorated initials. It owes its name to its probable second owner, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.

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.
