Golden Psalter of Saint Gall


The Golden Psalter of Saint 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 (63), although the figure of King David is again shown as standing on the S initial of psalm 68 (69).
