15th century parchment missal, made for Bishop Johann von Venningen
(1458-1478). The expenditure records of Bishop Johann von Venningen
permit tracing the individual stages of the making of this missal.
This manuscript was created at the same time as ms. 2 and ms. 3. In
1462/1463, the final touches were added to the almost completed
manuscript, the illumination, the initials, the fleuronné
initials, and especially the attachment of the cover. For
convenience, the order of the Ordo and the Canon was changed.
Originally meant to be at the beginning of the manuscript, they
were finally placed in the middle.
