Marienpsalter
The Marienpsalter is a meditation on the rosary that goes back to Alanus de Rupe . The great devotion to Mary during this time led to the addition of 150 prayers (three rows with 50 sentences each) in the Our Father with the same number of Ave Mariae . The Marienpsalter was particularly widespread among the Cistercians and Carthusians .
Zinna psaltery
The Psalterium Novum Beatae Mariae Virginis from the Klosterdruckerei Zinna , a Marian book of hours , is considered the oldest book printing in Brandenburg . The incunabula of the printer Hermannus Nitzschewitz dates from around 1493. Nitzschewitz came from Trebbin , at that time was a chaplain and protonotary in Frankfurt (Oder) and possibly a monk in Zinna before. The work, which is decorated with many woodcuts and wide flower ornaments, was produced with the support of the princely. A copy of the print came to the Potsdam City and State Library in 1992 , where it is the most important item among the historical book holdings in the Brandenburgica Collection . Thanks to a company donation, the Marienpsalter was digitized in 2003.
