Gospel Book

One of Gospels ( Book of Gospels ) is a liturgical book containing the text of the four Gospels of the New Testament.

In the gospel books received since the early Middle Ages is codices in which the gospels text usually more accompanying texts such as the concordance tables ( canon tables ) of Eusebius, the prefaces of Jerome for the Vulgate ( praefationes ) Kurzviten of the four evangelists (as prologue or argumentum referred to ), Synopses of the individual Gospels ( capitulationes ) and the list of intended for the worship reading Evangelienperikopen ( capitulare evangeliorum ) are attached.

In contrast to the liabilities arising from such Perikopenverzeichnissen Evangelistaren, which only needed for the worship of text and arrange them according to the feasts of the liturgical year, gospel offer the full text of most of all four Gospels ( Tetraevangeliar ) in the original text sequence, the in worship to read sections of the chapter divisions and categorizations can be made ​​particularly marked.

Gospel books were often very ornately designed and equipped with images (eg the Codex Aureus of Echternach, now Nuremberg, Germanic National Museum, 11th century; Hitda Codex, Lorsch Gospels ). Individual Dedication and Foundation copies for kings and princes are among the most valuable books that were ever made (such as the Gospels of Henry the Lion, today Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel, 1185-1188 ).
