摘要：In the early eleventh century a lavishly illustrated gospel book was made under the direction of Bishop Bernward for the Benedictine monks of St. Michael‟s Abbey in Hildesheim (Hildesheim, Dom und Diözesanmuseum, Domschatz 18). Bernward presented the codex to the monastery1 in conjunction with dedicating its church‟s crypt altar to Christ, the Virgin, Michael, and the “whole celestial army” on September 29, 1015. A painted bifolium at the front of the manuscript portrays that moment, fols. 16v-17r (fig. 1),2 and inscriptions in the picture‟s frames place special emphasis on Mary and Christ.3
