Parallel to his generously and bird's-eye-view designed description of the Alps, particularly the highest peaks, Placidus Spescha turned his attention to his home region of Graubünden. Focused specifically on the mountains and valleys of the Vorder- and Hinterrhein, he provides a precise geographical depiction of all the sources of the Rhine in the canton of Graubünden, along with descriptions of many mountain journeys in this little-visited and explored Alpine area. The Disentis monk and naturalist meticulously follows the fine branches of the Rhine up to the highest glaciers. He exuberantly praises the beauty of the river. He was likely inspired by both domestic and foreign landscape artists who sought out the sources of the Rhine for an illustrated Rhine album. Traces of these encounters have also been preserved in their works. Entertainingly written in vivid, expressive language.
