This manuscript, together with Cod. 247(379), 248(380) and
249(381), constitutes the four volumes of a collection of lives of
the saints and passions of the martyrs, arranged according to the
liturgical year. Without a doubt these four volumes were used in
Einsiedeln, where most likely they also were produced. Each life is
introduced with a large rubricated initial, and numerous glosses
and maniculae by Heinrich von Ligerz were inserted along the
margins. The original endpapers, now removed, left traces of a
liturgical text with neumes on the inside of the cover and traces
of an illuminated initial on the inside of the back cover.
