Wil, Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Katharina, M 1

Paper · 105 ff. · 33 x 22 cm · St. Gall, Dominican Convent of St. Katharina · second half of the 15th century (about 1470)

Psalterium feriatum

This manuscript contains the Psalms, ordered according to the arrangement of the liturgy of the hours, in Latin and each followed by the German translation. It was copied by two woman scribes, nuns in the Dominican Convent of St. Katharina in St. Gall. One hand is probably that of Angela Varnbühler. The binding consists of simple wooden tablets, covered in leather without any ornamentation, which is typical for the first phase of the St. Katharina scriptorium; it constitutes an additional element to attest to the origin of the manuscript.

Wil, Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Katharina, M VII

Parchment · 24 ff. · 22 x 15.5 cm · St. Gall, Dominican Convent of St. Katharina · 15th century (1484?)

Processionale

Processionale copied by the Dominican nuns of the Convent of St. Katharina of St. Gall in the second half of the 15th century. The manuscript is written in textualis by the hand of the same nun who copied the Processionale M VIII, perhaps also the Processionale M VI as well as the manuscript which today has the signature Cod. Sang. 1914. It might be the manuscript ij nv́wi procesional, which was mentioned in the Chronicle (now „Konventsbuch“) in 1484 and which, according to the same source, was re-bound in the year 1485. The binding consists of simple wooden tablets, covered in leather without any ornamentation, which is typical for the first phase of the St. Katharina scriptorium; it constitutes an additional element to attest to the origin of the manuscript.
