Pilgrims still visit the Benedictine priory of Andechs in Bavaria to view the bridal gown of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. But this is only one of dozens of relics described and illustrated in this catalogue, which also contains devotional exercises, a history of the monastery, and a classified index of miracles performed on premises between 1454 and 1623.
