Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This late medieval book of devotion and prayer is named for its first owner, Margret Zschampi, Dominican at Klingental Convent in Basel. It is a typical manuscript for edification, in German, as they were customarily used and written at the end of the Middle Ages for private devotion, especially in women’s convents and in lay communities. Margret Zschampi donated the manuscript to the Carthusian monastery of Basel, where it became part of the library for lay brothers. As part of this Carthusian library, the devotional book reached the university library of Basel in 1590. This is the only completely preserved known manuscript from the Dominican Convent of Klingental.
Deutsch: Das spätmittelalterliche Andachts- und Gebetbuch ist nach seiner ersten Besitzerin Margret Zschampi, Dominikanerin im Basler Kloster Klingental, benannt. Es handelt sich um eine typische Erbauungshandschrift in deutscher Sprache, wie sie im ausgehenden Mittelalter insbesondere in Frauenklöstern und Laiengemeinschaften für die private Andacht geschrieben und genutzt wurden. Margret Zschampi schenkte die Handschrift der Basler Kartause, wo sie in die Bibliothek für die Laienbrüder Eingang fand. Als Teil der Kartäuserbibliothek kam das Andachtsbuch 1590 in die Universitätsbibliothek Basel. Es ist die einzig bekannte vollständig erhaltene Handschrift aus dem Dominikanerinnenkloster Klingental.
Français : Ce livre de méditation et de prière du Moyen Âge tardif doit son nom à sa première propriétaire, Margret Zschampi, dominicaine du couvent bâlois de Klingental. Il s’agit d’un manuscrit d’édification typique, en allemand, qu’il était habituel de copier et d’utiliser pour la méditation privée, à la fin du Moyen Âge, surtout dans les couvents féminins et les communautés laïques. Il fut offert par Margret Zschampi à la chartreuse de Bâle, où il trouva place dans la bibliothèque destinée aux frères laïcs. En 1590, il rejoignit la bibliothèque universitaire de Bâle avec une partie de la bibliothèque de la chartreuse. Il s’agit de l’unique manuscrit complet connu provenant du couvent des dominicaines de Klingental.
Italiano: Il libro di meditazione e preghiera tardomedievale deve il suo nome alla sua prima proprietaria, Margret Zschampi, domenicana nel convento basileese di Klingental. Si tratta di un tipico manoscritto di edificazione in lingua tedesca, come fu d'uso scrivere ed utilizzare alla fine del medioevo soprattutto in conventi femminili e in comunità laiche per la meditazione privata. Fu regalato da Margret Zschampi alla certosa di Basilea, dove trovò posto nella biblioteca destinata ai fratelli conversi. Nel 1590 giunse nella biblioteca universitaria di Basilea quale parte della biblioteca della certosa. Si tratta dell'unico manoscritto integro conosciuto rimasto proveniente dal convento delle domenicane di Klingental.
