Account of the Scots Benedictine abbey at Ratisbon, copied apparently in 1684 for the abbot, Placid Fleming, by Andrew Cook, one of the monks.
Scope and Contents
The text is an excerpt from ‘Ratisbona religiosa’, the fourth (and largest) volume of ‘Ratisbona dioecesis illustrata’, a work in 7 volumes on the diocese of Ratisbon, written about 1660 by its chancellor, Eberhard Wassenberg. The work, which is little more than a catena of excerpts mostly from printed sources, was never published.
