This manuscript was written in the years 1521 and 1522 by the
copyists Regina Sattler, Dorothea von Hertenstein and Elisabeth
Schaigenwiler in the Dominican Cloister St. Katharina in St. Gall;
it is the only manuscript to transmit the spiritual works of the
Dominican Monk Wendelin Fabri (around 1465 - after 1533), who was
born in Pforzheim. Between 1510 and1518, while Spiritual (chaplain
and confessor) at the Dominican Cloister Zoffingen in Constance,
for reading aloud during meals at the cloister, he created
spiritual treatises about the Eucharist, about the five loaves of
barley bread of the religious and about the fruits of the Holy
Mass, the collations of the seven O-Antiphons, as well as the
treatises Villicatorius and Prudentia simplex religiosorum. The
manuscript came to the monastery library of St. Gall between 1780
and 1782; at the end of the 16th century, it had still been at the
Dominican Cloister St. Katharina in Wil.
