The Speculum humanae salvations is a work consisting of texts and
illustrations of Biblical content. Each double page of the opened
book shows four images, which usually juxtapose one scene from the
life of Christ with three prefigurations from the Old Testament. In
the present manuscript, this order has not been sustained
consistently. The Latin text source has been translated into German
verses, which earlier were erroneously attributed to Konrad von
Helmsdorf. The Speculum is preserved as a composite manuscript of
manuscripts and printed works; several pages are missing in the
beginning.
