The Manuscript Stimulus amoris from the Olomouc Research Library

In 2024, the Olomouc Research Library digitised the manuscript M I 11, which dates to the first half of the 15th century. It contains the ascetic-mystical treatise Stimulus amoris , whose text is known from several redactions and was translated into vernacular languages as well.The earliest German translation comes from the 14th century, and the Olomouc manuscript is one of only three known complete copies. Its binding, decorated with blind stamping and metal ornaments, is also medieval; the front lifted paste down is formed by a leaf with a pen-and-ink drawing of the Resurrection of Christ.
