Lorsch Abbey is an example of the importance of the medieval monastery for European culture.
Lorsch Abbey for example received it's incomes from the Netherlands as well as from the south of Switzerland, from thousand of wide-spread and hardly connected domains which formed as a whole a complicated organism requiring a very detailed and well structured administration.
At Lorsch the church was a big basilica, consisting of an rectangular apse in the east, three naves and an unknown architectural complex in the west, which may have been a sort of upper gallery reserved for the king.

After the Gospels arrived in Rome, the second half (and probably the only portion of the manuscript that the Vatican ever received) was rebound in a brown leather binding and the pages were renumbered in pencil.
