In the presence of Saint Helen one of the three crosses is placed over a corpse. From: Prayer of Wessobrunn (Wessobrunner Gebet), and other writings. Carolingian, before 814. Written in the diocese of Augsburg, Bavaria. The manuscript includes 70 other short, mainly theological, texts. Folios 1 verso?21 recto contain the legend of the True Cross, of which the primitive illustrations, probably Bavarian, form one of the earliest cycles of non-biblical content in the history of German illumination. Written in Carolingian minuscule it shows the influence of Anglo-Saxon script in the use of runes. Clm 22053, fol.
