Manuscript Summary:This manuscript brings together two collections, originally passed down separately, containing a total of 110 German language prayers for private devotions in the Engelberg convent. The prayers, which refer to the passion of Christ and above all to Mary, Mother of God, are meant for private prayer apart from the communal Divine Office. An exception is the first prayer, analyzed and edited by J. Thali, which is meant for silent devotion during the mass.(keg)

Dú sele Christì heilige mich.
Der licham Christi behalte mich.

Das wasser der siten Christì das wesche mich.

Vnd setze mich zvͦ dir.
Das ich dich mit dinen heiligen engelen
Lobe von ewen ze ewen. Amen.
