Pontifical of Johann von Venningen, Bischop of Basel (1458-1478),
produced at his request (first part). The expenditure records of
Bishop Johann von Venningen permit tracing the individual stages of
the making of this Pontifical. This manuscript was created at the
same time as ms. 1 and ms. 3. In 1462/1463, the final touches were
added to the almost completed manuscript, the illumination, the
initials, the fleuronné initials, and especially the attachment of
the cover.
