At the time this work, Die 24 Alten, which was completed in 1386,
was written, the Franciscan Otto von Passau was a member of the
Minorite convent in Basel. This piece, a form of guide to the
Christian life, was widely used in women's convents for reading
aloud during meals. This manuscript was written by a swester
Endlin, probably at the Franciscan nuns' convent of St. Leonhard in
St. Gall.
