German Psalter. The psalms are preceded by rubrics that indicate
the occasion when the psalm should be recited. The manuscript also
contains several canticles, the Te deum and the Litanies of the
Saints. The names in the litanies indicate a Benedictine origin.
The manuscript was written in 1421 by Othmar Ortwin. In 1839 it was
purchased by the Einsiedeln monk and librarian P. Gallus Morell
from the Cistercian Wurmsbach Abbey on Lake Zürich.
