Moser, Ludwig (1442-1510)
Ludwig Moser brought this small-format volume to the Carthusian Monastery of Basel (cf. note of ownership 1r), from where it came to the Basel University Library. It contains the first three of the four books of Thomas à Kempis' De imitatione Christi. This text, which is influenced by the teaching of various mystics, especially Meister Eckhart, offers spiritual people a guide for detaching from the world. It was very well received by Catholics as well as Protestants and is considered one of the most widely read books of Christendom.

This manuscript from the Basel Charterhouse contains the Novus Grecismus: an encyclopedic grammar that was written by Konrad von Mure (1210-1281), canon and teacher at the Zürich Grossmünster. The manuscript was bound in the Basel Charterhouse and was in its library already at the time of Prior Heinrich Arnoldi (1407-1487, prior 1449-1480). Probably in 1590, it came to the University Library, along with the rest of the collection of the Charterhouse.
