The Evangelium longum is an illuminated manuscript Latin evangeliary that was made around 894 at the Abbey of Saint Gall in Switzerland. It consists of texts drawn from the Gospels for the use of the preacher during Mass.
The scribe was the monk Sintram. The treasure binding, a cover with carved ivory plaques and metal fittings, was made by the monk Tuotilo. The book measures 398 x 235 mm.
Today, the original evangeliary is located in the abbey library of Saint Gall and can be found in the Codex Sangallensis under Cod. 53. It belongs to the permanent exhibition of the abbey library. It is available online as part of the “e-codices”-project of the University of Fribourg.[1]
