Texts in German, written in the middle of the 15th century, for use
in the nuns’ convent of Maria Magdalena in den Steinen in Basel.
Later the book belonged to Olsberg Abbey. It contains spiritual
texts by various authors, also sermons for Sundays and holidays, as
well as legends of the saints. Mariastein Abbey acquired the book
at a Basel auction around 1820. The sermon for the Assumption of
Mary on Fol. 194r-198v can be found in a printed version in ZSKG 4,
1910, pp. 205-212 or 207-212, based on a copy therefrom by P.
Anselm Dietler of Mariastein (died 1864).
