German private devotion
Three fragments from a book of private devotion(?), in Latin and German, manuscript on vellum [Germany, 13th century].
Fragments of unidentified texts, partly in columns of parallel Latin and German.

Stuck together, the overall size: c. 158 × 153mm, in 2 columns, the largest fragment preserving 12½ lines with parts of a confession (the recto ending ‘[...] Episcopos, presbyteros, abbates, monachos, canonicos, et omnes clericos ecclesiae dei non amavi nec’; the verso including ‘[...] sive in die, sive in nocte, horis atque momentis, sive vigilans, sive dormiens […]’ and ending, ‘Sic ego hodie omnia tibi deus celi et terre’), followed by a blessing by another scribe; one smaller fragment with part of Alcuin’s Prayer of St Gregory, starting in the list of patriarchs and prophets: (‘martyrum per fidem confessorum […] translatus est a mundo. Deprecetur’), continuing on the other small fragment in the list of apostles (‘[Ja]cobus, Johannes […] Fuga a me spiritum fornicationis, et da’), the right column of these two fragments in German: ‘beste mit(?) dem all besten. […] Owe ez ist gebrosten froeden’ and ‘selikeite. Das ich kome […] O sele mine ganc inde gaden dins’; their reverses similarly with one column in Latin and one in German.

Provenance:
(1) Stephan Beissel, S.J (1841–1915), perhaps responsible for the pencil inscription in German: ‘XIII Got. text / Medizin’.
(2) Colker MS 427; acquired in 1990 from Renzo Rizzi.
