Compilation of mystical treatises, referred to as the
Greith’scher Traktat for the first editor Carl Greith
(1807 -1882, Bishop of St. Gall from 1862). The primary sources
for the German text are Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler and Henry
Suso. The manuscript, which is defective at the end, is from the
Convent of Dominican nuns of St. Katharina in St. Gall (later Wil),
where it was probably written as well. Even the text itself may
have been compiled by a scribe from the convent, based on a
collection of texts. Since 1930 it has been a depositof the
episcopal library of St. Gall at the Abbey Library.
