This manuscript contains, among others, prayers by Johannes von
Indersdorf for Duke William III of Bavaria, the seven Penitential
Psalms, as well as texts on the passion and the deposition of
Christ. The major part of the prayer book was written in the years
1534 and 1540, more prayers filled in blank sections until the
1560s. The exact provenance of the manuscript is unknown, but the
written language as well as the textual tradition suggest the East
Upper German-speaking area (the region of Bavaria/Austria). The
prayer book receives its name from Elisabeth Blumin, deceased 23
May 1550, who is mentioned at the end, and who may have been the
first owner of this manuscript.
