Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The composite manuscript transmits, alongside the first volume of Hermann Joseph of Steinfeld’s (1150-1241) Revelationum seu imaginationum de undecim milibus virginum, Elisabeth of Schönau’s (1129-1164) Liber revelationum, and Johannes Brugmanus’ (1400-1475) Vita Lidwinae de Schiedamensis, numerous exempla, including some by Cesarius of Heisterbach (1180-1240) and by Thomas de Cantimpré (1201-1272). This volume was probably copied in the Strasbourg Charterhouse and, shortly after its production, given by Antonius Reuchlin, prior of the Strasbourg Charterhouse between 1439 and 1449 and between 1455 and 1466, to the Basel Charterhouse.
