This modern edition significantly enhances the original 1925 book with many illustrations, extensively researched footnotes, a complete work list and an index.

Wenn sich in der Benediktinerinnenabtei St. Walburg ein Bucherschatz uber Jahrhunderte erhalten hat, so ist dies primar der Ehrfurcht vor den geschaffenen Dingen im allgemeinen und vor dem Buch im besonderen zu verdanken sowie der Sparsamkeit, die vom Armutsideal nahegelegt wird. Inhaltlich wird die monastische Lesekult...
