Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This quarto volume brings together various texts, mostly shorter in length, of which the bulk are spiritual essays and prayers, including: a treatise on the Passion (pp. 438), prayers on the Passion (pp. 6884), prayers for the canonical hours (pp. 8891), a treatise on the Fall (pp. 92107), and another on the quattuor gemitus turturis (pp. 112-159); a Biblia pauperum indicates numerous saints and for what emergencies they can be invoked (pp. 160193). Among the spiritual texts, there are also a few in German (e.g., pp. 218220, 238). Two letters concern St. Gall: one is addressed to Abbot Eglolf (pp. 4043), another to monks who have fled to St. Gall (pp. 8588). Additional texts treat the Council of Constance and monastic reforms; also here there is a reference to St. Gall (pp. 239250). The last quire is composed of parchment leaves and could have come from the fourteenth century; it contains a grammar and medical texts (pp. 251266). The manuscript has a limp binding; for guards was used a German-language parchment charter, of which the year 1415 and the name of a ulrichen leman burger ze arbon are still legible. (mat)
