Among medieval prayer books, the Liber precatorius of the Bavarian State Library, which was produced in the Middle Rhine region ca. 1175, is distinguished both by the abundance of its illustrations and for their extraordinary quality and iconographic specificity. 72 #miniatures accompany the individual prayers, some illustrating Old Testament scenes from the Creation story to the Ten Commandments, while others refer to New Testament events, concluded by an image of the Last Judgment. Aside from the importance of the prayers and the unique image sequence related to them, the #manuscript is distinguished for supposedly being the personal prayer book of the famous abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary, and botanist Hildegard von Bingen.
