The Utrecht Psalter, one of the great survivals of the Carolingian
Renaissance, was made about 820-835 at the Benedictine monastery of
Hautvilliers and decorated with 166 dynamic, almost impressionistic
pen drawings which are masterly interpretation of the Psalter text.
In 1996 it was exhibited in Utrecht, alongside related manuscripts
such as the Aachen and Ebbo Gospels, the Byzantine Khludov Psalter
and the later English Harly and Eadwine Psalters, copied in
Canterbury when the Utrecht Psalter was for some centuries in
England. Five scholarly essays, designed for a wide-ranging
readership, include a discussion of Carolingian cultural
achievements; an analysis of the Psalter itself and its place in
the history of book production; an overview of medieval Psalter
illustration in both Byzantium and the West; and an exa- mination
of the English copies of the Utrect Psalter in the later Middle
Ages. This publication focuses on the Utrecht Psalter and
incorporates five scholarly essays, designed for a wide-ranging
readership, including a discussion of Carolingian cultural
achievements; an analysis of the Psalter itself and its place in
the history of book production; an overview of medieval Psalter
illustration in both Byzantium and the West; and an examination of
the English copies of the Utrect Psalter in the later Middle Ages.
'This is a hugely rewarding book, beautifully produced, scholarly
and extre mely readable. It not only serves as an excellent guide
to the complexities of the Utrecht Psalter, but is an interesting
contribution to the continuing debate on the nature of the
relationship between text and image in medieval art.' The Art Book.
