English summary: The monk Tuotilo (c. 850-913) was one of the leading figures of the cultural flowering of the monastery of St. Gall in the 9th and 10th century. He was already commemorated and celebrated in the Middle Ages as the exemplary artist of St. Gall. In August of 2015, the precinct of St. Gall hosted a Swiss National Science Foundation-sponsored conference to discuss the exceptional cultural flowering in the Early Middle Ages, organized by the St. Gall Library Foundation and the Chair of Medieval Art History at the University of Zurich. The conference offered an interdisciplinary exchange concerning new insights about Tuotilo’s life, his environment, his work as a goldsmith, ivory cutter, painter, poet, and composer as well as various aspects of the reception of Tuotilo and his work in later centuries. This volume offer the majority of the conference papers together as part of the series “Monasterium Sancti Galli.” German description: Der Monch Tuotilo (um 850-913) gehort zu den herausragenden Gestalten der kulturellen Blutezeit des Klosters St. Gallen im 9./10. Jahrhundert. Schon im Mittelalter wurde er als Vorzeigekunstler des Klosters St. Gallen erinnert und gefeiert. Vom 26. bis 29. August 2015 fand im Stiftsbezirk St. Gallen eine vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds geforderte internationale Tagung zu dieser Ausnahmeerscheinung des Fruhmittelalters statt, organisiert durch die Stiftsbibliothek St. Gallen und den Lehrstuhl fur Kunstgeschichte des Mittelalters der Universitat Zurich. Dabei stand der interdisziplinare Austausch uber neue Zugange zu Tuotilos Leben, seinem Umfeld, seinem Werk als Goldschmied, Elfenbeinschnitzer, Maler, Dichter und Komponist sowie zu den verschiedenen Facetten des Tuotilo-Bildes spaterer Jahrhunderte im Mittelpunkt. Der Band vereinigt den Grossteil der Tagungsbeitrage in der vom Bundesamt fur Kultur fur ihr Design ausgezeichneten Reihe Monasterium Sancti Galli.
