We present the edition of 12 cookery recipes which are found in the manuscript Man. cart. 81 of the monastery of Michaelbeuern near Salzburg (Austria). The manuscript dates from the middle of the 15th century and contains mostly religious texts; some medical texts as well as texts belonging to the liberal arts indicate that it may have been used as a school book for the monks. The dialect of the recipes shows upper German and Bavarian peculiarities, according to the place the manuscript is preserved. The edition of the recipes is followed by a commentary and a glossary. Eight of the recipes concern lenten meals, which means that they were probably collected especially for the religious community of the monks.
