Second volume (sanctorale) of the two-volume gradual, which Abbot
Laurentius of Heidegg from Muri Abbey purchased from the convent of
canonesses at Säckingen in 1532, after the furnishings of Muri
Abbey, along with the liturgical books, were destroyed in the
Second War of Kappel. The abbot had the large pen-flourish initial
at the beginning painted over with the miter, the abbatial crozier,
his own coat of arms and that of the abbey.
