Konrad, von Soltau (1350-1407)
This manuscript, in a strikingly narrow format, was created in Mainz and, as a gift from the Carthusians living there, it later came to the Carthusian monastery of Basel. It contains a large number of short and very short texts: in addition to some sermons, it mainly contains excerpts from theological, church historical and political treatises, including some in German.

This paper manuscript begins with Conrad of Soltau's commentary on the Psalms (pp. 3a-210a). Before becoming bishop of Verden, Conrad of Soltau (v. 1350-1407) studied at Prague, where he became master and professor of theology, then rector of the University (1384/5). The chief sources of his commentary on the Psalms are Nicholas of Lyra and the Glossa Ordinaria. The remainder of the manuscript contains various theological texts: excerpts from the Psalter (pp. 212-216), the Articuli de Passione Christi (pp. 218-244), the first page of a calendar (p. 348), an excerpt from a martyrology (pp. 350-354), Jacobus de Voragine's sermons for Lent (pp. 368a-429b) and the Legenda s. Verena (pp. 464a-477b). Many blank pages interrupt the various texts of this volume, copied by many different hands. The ownership mark on p. 1: Dis Buch ist Anthoni Gaisberg likely signifies Anton Gaisberg, father of Franz (ca. 1465-1529), abbot of St. Gall (1504-1529). It is certainly through Franz, a great lover and patron of manuscripts, that this work entered the Abbey Library of St. Gall.

The two-part paper manuscript transmits two theological works that, according to the colophons, were copied in 1392 and 1393. The works are Johannes Müntzinger's commentary on Rudolf von Liebegg's Pastorale novellum, a handbook of sacramental doctrine, and Konrad von Soltau's systematic explanation of the foundations of Christian belief, written in the form of a commentary on the decretal “Firmiter credimus”.
