Religious book found

The undated reproduction shows a religious book which was found in library of the abbey in Altomuenster, southern Germany. The impending dissolution of a 15th-century monastery in Bavaria is pitting scholars against Catholic church officials. The library in Altomuenster Abbey, accessible only to the monastery’s nuns for more than five centuries, contains precious illuminated manuscripts and other treasures. Scholars worry the “holy grail” for Bridgettine Order research could be damaged, broken up or sold off before it can be catalogued and studied. / AP-Yonhap
