Description
brown ink. In good condition.
Fascinating document, almost resulting in a comic strip. Probably compiled by a priest in an institute for deaf-and-dumb children. It has 23 ff. (2 suites numbered 1-4 (5) and 1-35) with a coloured pen drawing and a Latin subscription, representing a situation that could elicit sins. The person who wanted to confess then could point to the appropriate drawing. A rare survivor of a practical aid for priests.
