The Utrecht Psalter

The Utrecht Psalter is the most valuable medieval manuscript in Dutch collections, and is considered one of the masterpieces of medieval Western art. It was made in or near Rheims in the beginning of the ninth century. All the 150 psalms and 16 cantica are illustrated in a new, revolutionary style. Bound in the manuscript are 12 leaves from a Northumbrian gospelbook of c. 700. The complete manuscript has now been digitized by the Utrecht University Library.
