A volume of canonical readings for the mass, opulently illuminated
for Bishop of Augsburg Marquard von Berg (1575-11591), with a
heraldic crest page, a full-page miniature, many scenes along the
lower margin representing the important holy days of the church
year, and artful flowers and flowerlike ornaments, possibly by
Nurnberg book illustrator Sebastian Glockendon the Younger. The
manuscript came into the possession of soldiers during the Thirty
Years War and was later sold to the St. St. Gall monk and Vicar of
Wil, Bernhard Hartmann, who presented it in 1641 to St. Gall
Abbot-Bishop Pius Reher (1630-1654).
