A year before his death from cancer, Australian writer James Cowan was inspired by the Evangelium Longum at the St. Gallen Abbey Library. This significant manuscript, created around 900, prompted him to write aphorisms on life, illness, and death. The collection is published in English and German for a new exhibition.
Ein Jahr vor seinem Krebstod besuchte der australische Schriftsteller James Cowan die Stiftsbibliothek St. Gallen. Er war tief beeindruckt vom Evangelium Longum, der wichtigsten St. Galler Prunkhandschrift aus der Zeit um 900, geschaffen von dem Schreiber Sintram und dem Elfenbeinschnitzer Tuotilo. Die Handschrift und besonders der prunkvolle Einband aus Elfenbein, Gold und Edelsteinen inspirierten Cowan zu Aphorismen über Leben, Krankheit und Tod. Er erlag wenige Tage nach der Vollendung des Werks seinem Krebsleiden. Die Stiftsbibliothek veröffentlicht die Sammlung in der englischen Originalfassung und einer deutschen Übersetzung zur Eröffnung der neuen Ausstellung im Gewölbekeller, wo das Evangelium Longum nun immer zu sehen ist.
