Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Facsimile. Das aMatutinalbuch aus Scheyerno enthalt wichtige Zeugnisse romanischer Buchmalerei des fruhen 15. Jahrhunderts im eutschen Sprachraum und erweist sich durch die Vielfalt der beigebundenen Texte und Bilder als ein uber den liturgischen Raum hinaus bedeutendes Zeitdokument. Das Matutinale enstand zwischen 1215 und 1225 im Auftrag des Abtes Conrad I. im Kloster Scheyern und gehorte zu den ersten Ausstattungsgegestanden der neuen, Maria geweihten Kirche. Das groaformatige, reich illuminierte Buch war in erster Linie fur den nachtlichen Gottesdienst (Matutin) bestimmt - die Blatter zeigen die Spuren intensiver Benutzung, auch gelegentliche Wachs- oder Talgflecken. Der faksimilierte Bilderzyklus enthalt die monumentale Darstellung des apokalyptischen Weibes mit dem Drachen, aber auch andere ikonographisch und kunstlerisch bedeutende Miniaturen. Die wenigen bis heute veroffentlichten Miniaturen wurden wegen des auaergewohnlich groaen Formates des Buches stets verkleinert widergegeben. Nun erstmals in Originalgroae reproduziert, kommen Formenreichtum und Ausdruckskraft der Bilder voll zur Geltung.
