It is illustrated with 4 evangelist portraits, 4 initial pages and 12 canon tables. The illustrations of this manuscript, written in gold, together with the pictures in the Vienna Coronation Gospels, mark a new phase in Carolingian book illumination, closely modelled on the illusionistic painterly style of late Antiquity. The picture shows the evangelist Mark on folio 60v. The illuminator is called the Ebbo \(or Ebo\) Master. ## Related artworks - [A History of Western Saints]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Aristotle: De Interpretazione]() - [Aristotle: Works]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Belleville Breviary]() - [Bible Historiale]() - [Bible moralisée, part I.]() - [Bible moralisée, part I.]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
