Psalter/Breviary for a Dominican women’s convent. On pp. 1-12 it
contains a calendar of saints with many female saints and several
rare saints. The presence of saints from St. Gall and Constance
suggests that the volume was created in the Diocese of Constance.
On pp. 390-393 there are instructions for prayer in German.
Noteworthy are thirteen miniatures and initials in gold leaf. This
volume is from the convent of Dominican nuns of St. Katharina auf
dem Nollenberg near Wuppenau (Thurgau); according to a note of
ownership, it was the property of the convent at least since the
16th century. Since 1930 it has been a deposit of the episcopal
library of St. Gall at the Abbey Library.
