The second most expensive Gospel Book ever sold at public auction after the Gospels of Henry the Lion in 1983 went under the hammer today at Christie’s in London. The Carolingian “Gospels of Queen Theutberga” written in c. 825-850 was bought by Les Enluminures Ltd. for just over three million dollars for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Representing Les Enluminures in the rooms, Dr. Christopher de Hamel, who oversaw the sale of the Gospels of Henry the Lion at Sotheby’s more than three decades ago, has known this Carolingian manuscript since 1975. Dr. de Hamel remarks that the present manuscript is in “unbelievable condition and of noble provenance; it is difficult to imagine finding another ninth-century manuscript in such a flawless state.”
