Saint Bridget of the 14th century was of Swedish origin, half-orphaned, married young and had eight children. Her main aspiration was that not only herself, but also her family and the authorities around her should live a life pleasing to God, so that the church, faith, and nation would be strengthened. It is therefore no coincidence that the Bridgettine Order she founded has existed for more than seven centuries, that her daughter, Karin, is also venerated among the saints, that she was canonized less than two decades after her death, and that Pope John Paul II declared her co-patron saint of Europe in 1999, her feast day being July 23.

Bridget's approximately 700 revelations (visions) represent the most significant and best-known collection of medieval literary and religious texts, a series of shorter and longer visions and conversations with Christ and Mary. She herself dictated the texts in Swedish, and local priests, mainly the canon of Matthew of Linköping and his confessor, Peter of Alvastra, wrote them in italics and translated them into Latin. In the Middle Ages, the texts were distributed in manuscripts. The Revelations, published in eight books (chapters), were first published in 1492 and encompass the work of thirty years.

The exhibited copy is an early printing, made in the printing house of Anton Koberger in Nuremberg on September 21, 1500, by order of Emperor Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire. The original binding comes from Krakow, and since 1664 it has been the property of the library of the monastery of Şumuleu-Ciuc.

In addition to the visions collected in eight chapters, it also contains a preface and the papal bull of canonization. The volume contains over 50 engravings, some of them on full page, like the one presented here, while others are smaller and are placed between the chapters. The engraving presented depicts Saint Bridget presenting the rules of the Bridgettine Order. The saint, seated on a Gothic throne, with her head covered with a veil, holds a book in each hand, with the Father and Mary in a cloud above her head. On one side, nuns of the Bridgettine Order appear, wearing metal crowns fastened with five rivets, referring to the five wounds of Christ, and on the other side, members of the Teutonic Knights. Although the engravings are not marked with a master's mark, they can be attributed to Albrecht Dürer, an artist of Hungarian origin, who already had his own workshop in Nuremberg at that time.
