The work „Die vierundzwanzig Alten“ constitutes a sort of guide
to Christian life, and, at the time of its composition, the author,
Otto von Passau, belonged to the Franciscan convent of Basel. This
copy was written in the second half of the 15th century in a
dialect used in the upper Rhine region. Unfortunately, the spaces
for illustrations at the beginning of the 24 speeches have been
left blank.
