Reims Gospel

Fragment from the Reims Gospel
Illumination
Proverbs 8:28-35, Matthew 1:1-2

Reims Gospel (French: Texte du Sacre which means "coronation text"; also referred to in some Czech sources as the Emmaus Evangelie or Remešský kodex) is an illuminated manuscript of Slavonic (Slavic) origin which became part of the Reims Cathedral treasury. Henry III of France and several of his successors including Louis XIV took their oath on it.[1] In the time of Charles IV, who gave it to the just-founded Emmaus monastery in Prague, the text was believed to have been written by the hand of St. Procopius.
