Golden Psalter of St. Gallen


The Golden Psalter of St. Gall is a Carolingian Gallican psalter produced in the late 9th century, probably begun in West Francia, later continued in St. Gall Abbey.
The manuscript consists of 344 vellum leaves, with two full-page miniatures and fifteen full or half-page illustrations on the psalm titles. The decorations are predominantly in the first half of the manuscript; the final pictorial illustration shows "David in the desert of Judah", illustrating psalm 62 , although the figure of King David is again shown as standing on the S initial of psalm 68.
