Beissel calls our attention to the similarity of style in these miniatures and those of the Godeschalc Gospel codex (781–83) in the National Library, Paris. So far we are in agreement, for I consider the Lombard elements to be very prominent in the latter; the same may be said for the miniatures of the Gospel in the Munich Library 23631. v. A.
