Kunigund Schreiberin’s Book of Hours: Princeton MS. 67 (medieval Shelf Mark L XV)

This essay describes a German codex now held by Princeton University's Library. Dated to 1424, the book was owned by the convent of St. Catherine in Nuremberg and held in its library (medieval shelf mark-L XV). The essay argues that the book functioned as a book of hours, a genre understood as more flexible in the German context. Owned by Kunigund Schreiberin before she took vows (1429), the book also offers a specific example of medieval lay women's devotional practice.
