Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich schwerpunktmäßig mit den Beziehungen zwischen Mähren und Süddeutschland im Frühmittelalter. Von den vielen verschiedenartigen gesellschaftlichen Phänomenen, auf die sich die gegenseitigen Kontakte auswirkten, sei näher diskutiert der Wandel im Bestattungsritus. Diese historischen Prozesse kann man im archäologischen Fundgut unter anderem mit der Verbreitung von spätmerowingischen Bommelohrringen und Pressblechfibeln in Verbindung bringen. Die Anfänge dieser Übermittlung gehen tief in das 8. Jahrhundert zurück, als in Mähren die ersten Körpergräber aufkamen. In ihnen waren auch diejenigen Frauen beigesetzt, die alemannischen und bajuwarischen Schmuck trugen. and The study addresses the relationships between Moravia and south Germany in the Early Middle Ages. Among the many social phenomena influenced by mutual contacts, the work in particular discusses the change in the burial ritual. Among other things, this social process can also be connected with the spread of Late Merovingian earrings with spherical pendants and disc brooches. The beginnings of cultural influence stretches back far into the 8th century, when the first inhumation graves appear in Moravia. The women that were also buried in these graves wore Alemanni and Bavarian ornaments.
By a detailed analysis of decoration and collation of this manuscript it was found out that three principal masters participated in its decoration. The top quality of the decoration can be found in the work of the first master continuing the Byzantine, Venetian, and Saxon-Thuringian creation. The second master uses the first master´s work. The work of the third master is quite different as it is connected with original Bohemian production – with the Mater verborum manuscript. This different quality of illuminations allows to suppose that the codex originated in a scriptorium acting somewhere in Bohemia and employing a number of artists and their helpmates.
