Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This manuscript contains selections from the Elsässischen Legenda Aurea, an important Upper-German rendition of James of Voragine’s legendary. The selections are largely limited to the saints of the summer section. The first part of the manuscript (pp. I64) is written in a hand that copies the legends of John, Peter, and Paul. A second, somewhat less skilled, hand writes the rest, beginning with the only verse text of the manuscript (the Barbara-legend, starting on p. 66). This verse text is the only text that the Baroque label on the spine mentions. Also from the Legenda Aurea is the account of the Einsiedeln Engelweihe (pp. 191196). Both parts contain rubrics and restrained rubrication in a hand different from those used for the text. The beginning and end of the manuscript are missing; the binding, restored in the nineteenth century, dates from the fifteenth century. (mat)
