Working with manuscripts is one of my favourite aspects of medieval studies because they reveal so much more than the (much more readable, of course) printed text does about the culture surrounding the text. I just love this German ninth-century evangeliary (@bodleianlibs MS Laud Lat. 102). Many German monasteries were founded as the result of Anglo-Saxon mission work and used the Insular script but switched to the Carolingian minuscule when it became the uniform script under Charlemagne. So here, you turn folio 59 from recto to verso, and the text that began in Insular continues in Caroline.Β

I love how a neighboring deacon dances his way with the evangeliary (book of gospels) from the altar to the ambo during the alleluia. You really get the sense that he's joyously proclaiming glory and praise.
