About this book
The prayer book of Margaretha von Kappel (1482) is a remarkable testament to the education and piety of one of Constance’s patrician. Margaretha herself played a significant role in the composition of her prayer book. This study explores this example of private spirituality in text and image, places it in its historical context, and analyzes the religious and literary interests of a late medieval patrician.
