HistoryThis Gospel was made at the order of Czech diplomats to honour an anniversary of the Czech King Vratislav's coronation of 1085.The codex is probably of the Danubian-area provenance, together with other codices -- two of them have been preserved in Poland and one in the Prague Capitol Library. They originated most likely in the circle of the Monastery of St. Emmerames scriptorium in Regensburg.
