Rulebook and Observance: Codex A 53 of the Burgerbibliothek Bern as Johannes Meyer's Reform Program for the Bern Dominican Nuns. In the mid-15th century, the observant Chronicler of the Order Johannes Meyer served briefly as a confessor in the Bern Dominican Convent. With the aim of elevating the cloister into a model reform convent, he translated the compulsory normative texts for the nuns. Based on the rulebook, it is apparent that he sought a way out of the crisis through the functional and intensified use of vernacular literacy.
