This codex contains high quality excerpts of nearly all known Latin
writings by the Dominican Meister Eckhart (ca. 1260 – ca. 1328),
which are available overall in no more than a dozen manuscripts.
Although the scribe, who probably belonged to the circle of the
Dominican Monastery of Cologne, seems to have compiled the excerpts
“mechanically and without understanding” (Koch), the texts are
of high quality. The manuscript was purchased in 1386 by the
Westphalian priest Gottschalk Kamenschede, who later donated it to
the Carthusian Monastery of Basel.
