The shorter writings of Ulrich Putsch is a significant collection of shorter Latin texts attributed to the Swabian Bishop Ulrich Putsch. These works provide a deep insight into the religious and cultural landscape of the late Middle Ages. The volume complements the 2007 published title The Light of the Soul and includes, among other things, Putsch's Diarium, a vivid and subjective autobiography of his ten-year tenure as Bishop of Brixen. Additionally, it contains the Oraciones super missam, a collection of prayers for the faithful, as well as the Manuale simplicium sacerdotum, a handbook for secular priests. These texts are not only of historical interest but also valuable resources for understanding the religious practices and church structures of that time. The volume also offers a German translation of the Oraciones, which may have been written by Putsch himself, along with an introduction that highlights his career and the thematic focuses of the works.
