The extraordinary abbess of the monastery of St. Clare in Nuremberg, Germany, Caritas Pirkheimer (+1532), composed a Prayer Book which enjoyed great popularity among her contemporaries.  Along with her other writings - for Caritas was fluent in German and  Latin  – the manuscript is now kept in the Munich State Library.  In this Prayer Book she invokes the coming Christ Child, “the divine Infant who is the Savior awaited by all people.”  (See July 30^th, December 19^th,  and August 19^th)
