This annal (Jahrzeitbuch) from the parish St. Mauritius of
Appenzell was begun after the great fire of 1560 and replaces an
older exemplar that was destroyed in the fire. The prolog, written
as a poem, mentions the time of the writing, the scribe and the
commissioner of the work. Annual donations from before the fire had
to be reconstructed from memory; later ones were added until 1650.
