Coronation Evangeliar cover by Hans von Reutlingen, c. 1500
The Vienna Coronation Gospels, also known simply as the Coronation Gospels (German: Krönungsevangeliar), is a late 8th century illuminated gospel book produced at the court of Charlemagne in Aachen.[1] It was used by the future emperor at his coronation on Christmas Day 800, when he placed three fingers of his right hand on the first page of the Gospel of Saint John and took his oath.[2] Traditionally, it is considered to be the same manuscript that was found in the tomb of Charlemagne when it was opened in the year 1000 by Emperor Otto III. The Coronation Evangeliar cover was created by Hans von Reutlingen, c. 1500.[2][3] The Coronation Evangeliar is part of the Imperial Treasury (Schatzkammer) in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria (Schatzkammer, Inv. XIII 18).[3]
