Chronicle of the smaller abbeys and foundations of Zurich by
Heinrich Murer (1588-1638, from 1614 on a Conventual at the
Carthusian Monastery of Ittingen). This volume is a collection of
short, incomplete descriptions giving the history of abbeys and
foundations of Zurich, introduced by title pages of pen and ink
drawings with blue wash. The following institutions are de-scribed:
the Augustinian monastery in the mindere Stadt (smaller city) of
Zurich, the Franciscan monastery of the grosse Stadt (larger city)
of Zurich, the Dominican monastery, the community of Beguines of
St. Verena, and the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene in Oetenbach.
