This manuscript, which probably originated in a German-speaking
region, contains a Biblia sacra decorated with numerous initials
with a gold ground, as well as the short tract entitled De
fructibus carnis et spiritus, attributed to Hugo of St. Victor or
Conrad of Hirsau, with two schematic diagrams. During the 16th
century the richly decorated manuscript was owned by Christoph
Silberysen, Abbot of the Cistercian cloister at Wettingen.
