Abstract:
The article publishes nine parchment leaves (or parts thereof), reused as a secondary binding of six books held in the library of the former Capuchin and present Franciscan monastery in Engelberg (Bavaria). The binding had been executed in the second third of the 18th century - relatively late for this type of reuse. The manuscripts can be dated approximately to the 14th century. The parchments contain vocalized Hebrew liturgical texts from the Maḥzor according to the Ashkenazic rite, either texts of the Yom Kippur or Seliḥot. Most of the texts, except one, are known Piyyutim. Some of the leaves contain only partly known commentaries on the margins. Three of the leaves are successive leaves of one manuscript, the others except one, have been part of the same manuscript.
Note:
Includes 10 illustrations (pp. 349-355).
