The Lorch Choir Books are three magnificent liturgical manuscripts from the Benedictine monastery of Lorch , which were created between 1510 and 1512 and are now stored in the Württemberg State Library in Stuttgart under the shelfmarks Cod. Mus. I 2 ° 63-65.

The client was Abbot Sebastian Sitterich. The sovereign, Duke Ulrich von Württemberg , supported the elaborate writing work as the main benefactor. Participants included the illuminator Nikolaus Bertschi from Augsburg , the Augsburg monk Leonhard Wagner and the later Lorch abbot Laurentius Autenrieth .
