This dated paper manuscript contains the Büchlein der ewigen
Weisheit by the German mystic and Dominican Henry Suso (1295-1366),
which was in wide use during the Middle Ages, as well as the
allegorical treatise Die zwölf Lichter im Tempel der Seele, which
originally might have been part of a sermon. The linguistic
characteristics of the text (Bavarian dialect) suggest an origin in
South Tyrol, while a later annotation on the flyleaf (18th-19th
century) could be an inventory note stating that it belonged to the
library of the St. Elisabeth Convent of the Poor Clares in Brixen.
