I‘m just going through the tutorial and – wow, why didn’t I try out Scrivener earlier? 🤯

I‘d be interested in those resources as well. Thanks for the offer to share them!

I use Obsidian, but only since a couple of months. I am using it for my next book project, but obvs I have no hints for you at this point. Would be interested in any tips!

Ah, thanks, I didn’t know that (but was wondering …).

Or do I interpret ‘turn of the 9th century’ wrong here (if that is what McKitterick actually said)?

Thanks for the link. Rosamond McKitterick says ca. 800 (or maybe beginning of 9th c.) which would be well before the foundation of Essen Abbey. And, again, if it would have been produced in Essen, there’d be next to 0 chance of still being there in 1803 due to the destruction of the library in 946.

I don’t have more information than that given in the article, though, and I’m no expert …

I doubt that the gospel was written at Essen in the early 10th c. and then remained there until 1803. The library at Essen was destroyed in mid 10th c. Therefore, it would be more likely that the Gospel book was acquired later from somewhere else.
