This manuscript has been bound together from originally separate booklets (how do we know that?). Here they are:

f. 2r-60r: Hermann von Sachsenheim ‘Der Spiegel‘
f. 61r-65r: Erhard Wameshafft: ‘Liebe und Glück’;f. 65r: Riddle
f. 68r-101r: Schoff thor ‘Warnung an hartherzige Frauen’
f. 103r-181r: Königsteiner Liederbuch (read more)
f. 186r-190v. Prayers and excerpts from the Requiem liturgy in German
f. 196r-200v = Hermann von Sachsenheim: ‘Die Grasmetze’

Even if we do not know who wrote this manuscript and for whom, we can deduce something about the users by taking a closer look at the authors of these texts (clicking on this link will take you along the main path through the exhibition room).

What could have been the reason to put these booklets together? (Clicking on this link will provide a shortcut through the exhibition room, skipping the interpretation of the names in the manuscript.)
