Rabula Gospels


The Rabula Gospels (Florence, Biblioteca Mediceo Lauenziana, cod. Plut. I, 560) is a 6th century illuminated Syriac Gospel Book. It was completed in 586 at Monastery of St. John of Zagba in Mesopotamia. It was signed by its scribe, Rabula (also spelled Rabbula) about whom nothing else is known.

In their current condition the folios are 34 cm by 27 cm. Their original size is unknown because they were trimmed during previous rebindings. The text is written in black or dark brown ink in two columns of a variable number of lines. There are footnotes written in red ink at the bottom of many of the columns. The text is the Peshitta version of the Syriac translation of the Gopels.

The manuscript is illuminated with text being framed in elaborate floral and architectural motifs. There are also several miniatures, including miniatures of the Crucifixion, the Ascension and Pentecost.

The history of the manuscript after it was written is vague until the 11th century when it was at Maipuc . In the late 13th or early 14th century it came to Kanubin . In the late 15th or early 16th century, the manuscript came to the Biblioteca Mediceo-Laurenziana in Florence, where it is today.
