Stuttgart Psalter

Beatus vir page, Psalm 1

The Stuttgart Psalter (Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart, Bibl. fol. 23) is a richly illuminated 9th-century psalter, considered one of the most significant of the Carolingian period. Written in Carolingian minuscule, it contains 316 images illustrating the Book of Psalms according to the Gallican Rite.[1] It has been archived since the late 18th century at the Württembergische Landesbibliothek in Stuttgart.
