• Resumen

  • A richly illustrated early sixteenth-century manuscript of German prayers now in the British Library, London, is here identified as having been made for the use of Sibylla von Freyberg, the daughter of a wealthy merchant family from Augsburg. The choice of the prayers and images included testify to her special devotion to the Virgin and allow insights into the attachment she felt to her hometown, her family and her membership of the Confraternity of Our Dear Lady.
