This manuscript contains the 14 so-called Hermetschwiler Predigten
on pp. 1-140; it is a 13th century cycle of sermons in High
Alemannic, for which this manuscript is the only textual witness.
The text is defective in the beginning and at the end. This is
followed on pp. 141-214 by the German-language treatise on Corpus
Christi by the “Mönch von Heilsbronn”, a monk from the
Cistercian Heilsbronn Abbey located between Nuremberg and Ansbach,
who probably lived in the 14th century. Pp. 214-252 contain more
spiritual speeches. At least from the 19th century on, the volume
was at the Benedictine Convent Hermetschwil (Aargau). Since 1930 it
has been a deposit of the episcopal library of St. Gall at the
Abbey Library.
