description Beringer focuses on the fourteenth-century manuscript of the Klosterneuburger Evangelienwerk, which evokes vernacular in artistic style and subject matter oral story-telling. Oral story telling, more specifically homiletic discourse, is foregrounded continuously in the visual program of this manuscript, an emphasis that reflects the sermonic nature of the Evangelienwerk itself. It is believed that the designer of this manuscript had recognized this fundamental characteristic of the manuscript's text and in his visual program re-capitulates the homiletic scene, casting a traditional scholastic process of teaching and learning as an oral situation of preaching and reception. Moreover, the visual program of the earliest manuscript transmitting the Evangelienwerk underscores the similarities between the Evangelienwerk and contemporary reception of the vernacular Bible, thereby fitting this uncomfortable text in to the new culture of vernacular literacy.
