The Darmstadt Mirror of Salvation is one of the most beautiful and fascinating examples of the Speculum humanae salvationis – a true bestseller of late medieval devotional literature. The rhyming Latin verses and 136 vividly colored #miniatures reveal to readers the Christian God's fateful plan of salvation, which, according to the text, is deduced from biblical stories and other historical events that are juxtaposed with one another. In the Darmstadt Mirror of Salvation, the combination of images and text appears in an unusual layout that directs spiritual contemplation particularly to the 68 vividly illustrated pages. From the end of the 14th century, these served to edify the Franciscan nuns at the St. Clara convent at Clarenberg in Hörde, to whom the #manuscript was given as a gift by a Dortmund priest from a wealthy merchant family.
