A volume of the Gospels, made to order for an unknown customer in
about 1470/1480, possibly in the workshop of the book illustrator
Rudolf Stahel of Konstanz. It contains Latin Gospel readings for
the most important holy days of the church year. Illustrated by at
least two artists with 21 full-page illustrations, including the
symbols of the four evangelists and representations of the most
important holy days throughout the year. In 1658 the volume was
presented by the court official Fidel von Thurn to Abbot Gallus Alt
(1654-1687) and decorated by a book illuminator with his crest.
