This Cistercian manuscript, datable to the first half of the 13th
century, contains only a part of the Old Testament, that is, the
Books Isaiah to and including Malachi. This book must have changed
libraries for historical reasons. After being held in the
Cistercian Abbey Frienisberg in the Canton of Bern, it reached
Hauterive when the Bernese Monastery was dissolved during the
Protestant Reformation. The last Abbot of Frienisberg, Urs
Hirsinger, is said to have arrived at the Fribourg Abbey with a
handful of manuscripts.
