Studies in Carolingian Manuscripts by Florentine Mutherich

Studies in Carolingian Manuscripts by Florentine Mutherich

For the last forty years Florentine Mutherich has worked as editor of the corpus of Carolingian illuminated manuscripts she has recently published the School of Reims and is currently preparing the Franco-Saxon schools. In addition to her work on these volumes, she has explored various aspects of Carolingian book illumination. This volume presents a selection of her studies where the different types of school - court schools, and monastic and episcopal schools - are represented, as well as the different types of manuscripts. These are mostly Bibles, Gospel books, Psalters and Sacramentaries, but also secular works such as copies of late antique authors, Vergil, Aratus and the treatises of Roman land surveyors. Other articles deal with special problems such as the relationship to Roman or to Byzantine art.

For over forty years Florentine Mutherich was the editor of the corpus of Carolingian illuminated manuscripts with the Harvard scholar Wilhelm Reinhold Walter Koehler. Mütherich was a co-editor of the art journal Kunstchronik from 1954 to 1970. She published, with the medievalist Percy Ernst Schramm, an inventory of royal German portraits. She lectured at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, the university in Munich, and was named honorary professor there in 1969. She taught as a visiting professor at Columbia University, New York, between 1976 and 1982.
