The Vatican copy of In Honor of the Holy Cross by Rabanus Maurus (d. 856) is the most artistically accomplished manuscript of the text. Copied in the second quarter of the ninth century at the author's monastic home at Fulda, it includes his autograph annotations and corrections. Its twenty-eight full-page figured poems on the theme of the Christian cross are preceded by a figured poem honoring Emperor Louis I "the Pious," an acrostic identifying the author, and a pair of presentation frontispieces.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
