Begins - a discussion of priesthood, its vocations & vows , the duties
of the bishop etc. Also treated are the church & chapel for the
Mass , consecration, desecration etc. A subsequent chapter
deals extensively - vestments. The principal parts of the
mass are quoted both in the original Latin & in this 1st
German translation. It is the vernacular language of the esposition
which make it a remarkable document of medeival religious
history.
