Thirty-four "vigilgen und vermanungen" ("vigils and exhortations") for the salutation of the Soul. The form of all the exhortations is essentially similar: a short sentence followed by a prayer of thanks to Jesus Christ. Also includes an expanded version of the Lord's prayer and miscellaneous prayers including several to the Virgin and one for souls in purgatory. The first folio is in Latin, but the rest is almost entirely in German, with only a few interspersed Latin phrases.
Bound in soft red leather, perhaps the original binding.
Text in German (and some Latin).
26 folio leaves.
