Miniature illustration of King David in the Montpellier PsalterMiniature illustration of Jesus Christ
The Montpellier Psalter (Montpellier, Bibliothèque Interuniversitaire, Faculté de Médecine, H.409, also known as Tassilopsalter, formerly also Psalter of Charlemagne) is one of the oldest Psalters from the Carolingian era and was made in the 8th century in the then-Bavarian Mondsee Abbey during the reign of the Agilolfings and was supposedly originally dedicated to the Bavarian ducal family of Tassilo III of Bavaria. The book saw a turbulent history and is now held at the Bibliothèque Interuniversitaire in the medicine faculty building at Montpellier, under the shelfmark H. 409.
This small sized psalter contains two miniature illustrations that picture Jesus Christ and King David, 165 larger initials in gold and silver and more than 2000 smaller initials in the colours yellow, red and green. This generously illuminated manuscript is influenced by an imagery from Roman Late Antiquity and is most like based on sixth-century models from Ravenna. The beginning of each psalm is indicated by an ornamented initial in uncial script. The language of the text is Latin.[1]
