TheHitda Codex is an eleventh-centurycodex containing anevangeliary, a selection of passages from theGospels, commissioned by Hitda,abbess of Meschede in about 1020. It is held atUniversity and State Library Darmstadt.[1] Hitda is depicted in the book's dedication miniature presenting the codex to the convent's patron,Saint Walburga. St. Walburga stands on a pedestal in the center of the composition, and has a golden halo surrounding her head. Behind the two women is themonastery that Hitda oversees, which fills the entire background.[2]
Theilluminations are highlights of theCologne school in the later phases of theOttonian Renaissance. The Hitda Codex contains the only survivingLife of Christ cycle of illuminations produced in Cologne from this period.[3] The cycle's cultural context has been replicated by Henry Mayr-Harting.[4]
