With his vita Jesus Christi e quatuor Evangelis et scriptoribus orthodoxis concinnata, Ludolph created one of the most popular edification books of the late Middle Ages, which had probably been printed for the first time in the Strasbourg Carthusian monastery in 1474. In addition to the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, he also served as the source of his monumental work by the patrists such as Ambrosius of Milan, Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux, Gregory the Great, Hrabanus Maurus, or Origen, with the help of which he supplemented the narratives of the Evangelists. This work has the following foliage: a7, a1, a3-4, a8-10, b8, c8, d8, e8, f8, g8, h8, i8, k8, l8, m8, n8, o8, p8, q8, r8, s8, t8, v8, x8, y8, z8, A8, B8, C8, D8, E7 – Probably incomplete, the situation E8-L8 is missing. ==References====External links== "Monastery Lippensis ad Oo.
