Necrologium Lundense
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Necrologium Lundense (Lund, UB Mh 6) is a 12th-century illuminated manuscript probably made in Lund (then part of Denmark, today part of Sweden) to serve as a book of rules for the canons of Lund Cathedral, with texts used by them in their daily life. Its oldest parts date from around 1123, and it is considered the oldest still intact manuscript written in Scandinavia. It is preserved in a late medieval binding and the text is partially adorned with decorated initials, including one which displays influences from Viking art. The book is today kept in the University Library of Lund University.
