| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary In 1932, this small-format breviary was acquired in an English antiquary shop for the University Library of Basel. There is no medieval possession note, but the calendar and the content permit its definitive localization to the convent of Dominican nuns of St. Maria Magdalena an den Steinen. Additional evidence for this provenance can be found in the somewhat later representations of the Passion story added somewhat later in the manuscript, as several of them feature a central depiction of Mary Magdalen with her ointment jar. The artistic full-page illuminations are probably to be understood in the context of the observance movement in medieval women’s monasteries. In the seventeenth century some German prayers were added, along with a contemporary possession note that proves that, at that time, the manuscript was still in the possession of the Dominican nuns. |
