Manuscript Summary:This paper copy of the Speculum humanae salvationis (pp. 1-174), dated 30 April 1388, was produced in Wil by Johannis Phister de Gossow, who stated in the colophon (p. 174ab) that, having finished his work, he was off to play (ludere eat). A second text (pp. 178a-190b), produced by a scribe contemporary to the first, bears the rubric title De passione domini and finishes the manuscript. Before entering the possession of the Abbey Library of Saint Gall, at the latest during the abbacy of Diethelm Blarer (whose stamp from between 1553 and 1564 appears on p. 192), the codex belonged to Ulrich Varnbüler, burgomaster and imperial bailliff of Saint Gall from 1481 to 1490, as indicated by the ex libriswritten on the first page of the volume. On the front and back pastedowns of the original leather binding can be found the offsets of a manuscript, from which narrow strips of parchment served to protect the quires of the codex.(rou)
