Re-Cataloguing of the formerly Donaueschingen manuscripts in the BLB Karlsruhe

巴登地区图书馆（BadischeLandesbibliothek，卡尔斯鲁厄，BLB）中的前多瑙艾辛根手稿是最重要的德语中世纪历史记录收藏之一。该馆藏共 287 卷，不仅包含众多著名的中世纪手稿，还包含对科学史具有相当重要意义的各种 18 世纪和 19 世纪的副本。除了通过继承而合并到多瑙艾辛根菲尔斯滕贝格宫廷图书馆 (Fürstlich Fürstenbergische Hofbibliothek Donaueschingen) 的德国西南部各个贵族图书馆之外，约瑟夫·冯·拉斯伯格 (Joseph von Laßberg) 的藏书也是其最杰出的来源之一。 1998 年，在 DFG 的资助下，开始对前多瑙艾辛根手稿进行重新编目。继 2004 年中断之后，2011-2013 年，编目项目进行了更新、修订并补充了新的描述。该项目由卡尔斯鲁厄 BLB 资助，在莱比锡大学图书馆手稿中心进行。至此，这组文学手稿的编目工作已经完成。拟议的项目旨在为该藏品的下一部分（带有神学散文的手稿）制作一份学术目录，以便它们能够在整个藏品的深入目录的框架内占据一席之地。我们总共处理 72 份手稿，其中大部分尚未被研究过，或者迄今为止只进行了最低限度的研究。它们涵盖了中世纪晚期的广泛教会文献。除了圣经、短文、布道、范例、传说和灵修文献的翻译外，这部分藏品还包含大量祈祷书籍，以及几本带有修道院时间的拉丁手稿。预计该项目将揭示大量新的文本见证并产生法典学成果，这些成果不仅与中世纪德国文学和语言研究相关，而且与区域、文化和宗教领域的研究相关。研究。据我们目前所知，该藏品似乎包含大量相关材料，特别是关于妇女修道院的历史以及私人灵修实践。该项目由卡尔斯鲁厄 BLB 和莱比锡大学图书馆合作开展，预计运行四年零四个月。编目将在莱比锡大学图书馆手稿中心进行。编目过程的结果将通过 Manuscripta Mediaevalia 持续在线发布。

The former Donaueschingen Manuscripts in the Baden Regional Library (BadischeLandesbibliothek, Karlsruhe, BLB) represent one of the most important collections of medieval historical records in the German language. With 287 volumes, the collection not only contains numerous celebrated medieval manuscripts, but also a variety of 18th and 19th century copies that are of considerable importance for the history of science. In addition to various Southwest German noble libraries which were united through inheritance in the Fürstenberg Court Library Donaueschingen (Fürstlich Fürstenbergische Hofbibliothek Donaueschingen), one of its more outstanding provenances is Joseph von Laßberg’s collection.In 1998, DFG-sponsored re-cataloguing of the former Donaueschingen manuscripts commenced. In 2011-2013, after an interruption at 2004, the catalogued items were updated, revised and supplemented with new descriptions. This project was conducted at the Centre for Manuscripts at the Leipzig University Library with funding from the BLB Karlsruhe. The cataloguing of the group of literary manuscripts has thus been completed.The proposed project aims to produce a scholarly catalogue of the next section of the collection, manuscripts with theological prose, so that they can take their place within the framework of an indepth catalogue of the whole collection. In total we are dealing with 72 manuscripts, the majority of which have not been studied, or have only minimally been researched so far. They cover a broad spectrum of the ecclesiastical literature of the late middle ages. Aside from translations of the Holy Scripture, tractates, sermons, exempla, legends and devotional literature, this part of the collection contains an extensive group of prayer books, as well as several Latin manuscripts with the monastic hours.It is anticipated that the project will bring to light numerous new textual witnesses and spawn codicological results which will not only be of relevance to the study of Medieval German Literary and Language studies, but also to research into the areas of regional, cultural and devotional studies. From what we know so far, it would appear that the collection contains vast stretches of relevant material, especially about the history of women’s monasteries, as well as private devotional practises.The project is conducted in cooperation between the BLB Karlsruhe and Leipzig University Library and is scheduled to run for four years and four months. The cataloguing is to be conducted at the Centre for Manuscripts at Leipzig University Library. The results of the cataloguing process will continuously be published online via Manuscripta Mediaevalia.
