Description The luxurious bookbinding of the so-called Berta Evangeliary is one of the exceptional objects conserved from the period of foundation of women’s convent of Saints Cyriac and Nicholas in Via Lata founded around the middle of the 10th century. It was donated to the monastery by Berta, ancillae dei, who probably resided there at the time close to the convent’s foundation. It is a unique object that opens the discussion on commissions of the noblewomen in tenth-century Rome.
