Marquard Gude (1635-1689) and his manuscripts. A history of the provenance, tradition of classical authors and collecting interests in the Codices Gudiani

古德侯爵一生游历欧洲各地，收藏了中世纪和文艺复兴时期的拉丁文和希腊文手稿，被认为是在意大利以外发现的17世纪最重要的私人手稿收藏。幸运的是，古德·S去世后，沃尔芬布特尔公爵图书馆几乎获得了整套手稿。该藏品包含许多稀有和有价值的物品，对于追踪古典古代和中世纪时期的文本传播至关重要。这项研究项目的目的不仅是为了更好地了解《典籍》的起源和出处，而且还将重点放在精选文本、手稿和手稿群的传播、接受和影响的历史上。在该项目的第一个资助期内，实现了三个主要目标：第一，开发了一种新的方法，将古德的语言兴趣和他与志同道合的学者网络的通信与他的旅行和手稿的获取联系起来；第二，通过新的编目和古文分析，获得了关于古德的起源、出处和以前选定手稿组的所有权的大量数据；第三，在欧洲各图书馆发现了古德写的或与他有关的新的未经编辑的资料(如信件、目录等)，这些资料值得进一步调查。

During his lifetime, Marquard Gude travelled throughout Europe and put together a monumental collection of Latin and Greek manuscripts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, which is thought to be the most important private manuscript collection from the 17th century to be found outside Italy. Fortunately, after Gude s death almost the whole set of manuscripts was acquired for the Ducal Library at Wolfenbüttel. The collection contains many rare and valuable items of the utmost importance for tracing the transmission of texts from classical antiquity and the medieval period. This research project aims not only to arrive at a better understanding of the origin and provenance of the Codices, but also to focus on the history of the transmission, reception and impact of selected texts, manuscripts and manuscript groups. During the first funding period of this project, three main objectives were achieved: first, a new methodological approach was developed which consisted of relating Gudes philological interests and his correspondence with a network of like-minded scholars to his travels and his acquisition of manuscripts; second, through new codicological and palaeographic analysis, substantial data about origin, provenance and previous ownership of selected manuscript groups has been attained; and third, new unedited sources written by Gude or concerning him (e.g. letters, catalogues, etc) have been discovered in various European libraries, which warrant further investigation.
