The Confraternity Book of Saint Peter was first created in 784 when the Benedictine abbey of Saint Peter was also the seat of the archbishop of Salzburg. As the earliest surviving manuscript from the Salzburg scriptorium, it holds immense historical significance and provides invaluable insight into the history of monastic life and the relics stored in the monastic church. In addition to the eighth-century confraternity records, it includes a "new confraternity book" written in the eleventh century that is notable for its colorful painted arcades (pp. 29-38).

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
