Missal following the liturgical custom of the Diocese of Basel,
commissioned by Christoph of Utenheim, prince-bishop of Basel
between 1502 and 1527; he had his coat of arms, crossed with that
of the Diocese of Basel, painted in the lower margin of f. 2r. The
Canon of the Mass, decorated with a historicized initial depicting
the Mass of St. Gregory, is not original but was added later. The
border with flower decoration in the side margin and the presumed
miniature of the Crucifixion in the beginning were removed.
