Tips
We reach the treasury.
The building is inconspicuous and we don't have time for the audio guide.The employee accompanies us and spontaneously takes us on a journey to the historical manuscripts.
The Codex Egberti and, since 2023, the Ada Gospel are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The latter, written around 800, from Charlemagne's court school, entirely in gold ink.
It is also noteworthy that the Bible has wafer-thin paper; the text cannot be deciphered without a magnifying glass.
The stories that are conveyed to us here are priceless.
Thank you for this tour.Here is the whole report about our visit to Trier
