Illuminated manuscripts constitute an essential corpus for the history of art in the Middle Ages, as they have survived in much greater numbers than other two-dimensional works of art such as frescoes or paintings. They are also highly relevant sources for other disciplines of mediaeval studies, ranging from history and theology over Latin and vernacular philology to the history of medicine and law. Not only do they transmit textual and visual information, but they also enable researchers to gain insights into interests of recipients, levels of decoration and text-image-relations. For systematic access to this material, detailed descriptions of illuminated manuscripts with regard to their art-historical evaluation based on stylistic features and history of origin as well as their content and iconographic meaning are required. The project undertakes to create a reliable and coherent basis for further research in this area for specialized art historians and general mediaevalists alike.The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich holds not only substantial numbers of Latin and vernacular manuscripts decorated in the German-speaking areas and Italy, but also – compared with other German institutions – an outstanding collection of mediaeval manuscripts illuminated in France. Due to the mobility of mediaeval artists and manuscripts, neighbouring areas like modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Britain are included in the corpus, which as a result comprises 437 manuscripts, of which about 293 were catalogued in a first project phase, namely French manuscripts from the 10th to the 14th century, and all illuminated manuscripts from Spain and England. The current project aims at cataloguing the 144 manuscripts of French, Belgian and Netherlandish origin dating from the 15th century and later and thus to complete the description of the BSB’s holdings of illuminated manuscripts from France and other Western European countries in a final phase of three years. The descriptions will follow the DFG's cataloguing rules and will be published both in a printed catalogue as well as an online repository under open access.

插图手稿构成了中世纪艺术史的重要语料库，因为它们比其他二维艺术作品（如壁画或绘画）幸存下来的数量要多得多。它们也是中世纪研究的其他学科的高度相关的来源，从历史和神学到拉丁语和方言语言学，再到医学和法律史。它们不仅传递文本和视觉信息，而且还使研究人员能够深入了解接受者的兴趣，装饰水平和文本-图像关系。为了系统地访问这些材料，需要详细描述插图手稿，根据风格特征和起源历史以及它们的内容和图像意义进行艺术史评价。该项目致力于为专业艺术史学家和一般中世纪学者在这一领域的进一步研究创造一个可靠和连贯的基础。位于慕尼黑的巴伐利亚国家图书馆不仅拥有大量的德语区和意大利装饰的拉丁文和白话文手稿，而且与其他德国机构相比，还拥有法国装饰的中世纪手稿的杰出收藏。由于中世纪艺术家和手稿的流动性，邻近地区，如现代比利时，荷兰，西班牙和英国都包括在语料库中，因此包括437份手稿，其中约293份在第一个项目阶段被编目，即10世纪至14世纪的法国手稿，以及来自西班牙和英国的所有插图手稿。目前的项目旨在对144份起源于法国、比利时和荷兰的手稿进行编目，这些手稿可以追溯到15世纪及以后，从而在三年的最后阶段完成对BSB持有的法国和其他西欧国家的插图手稿的描述。这些描述将遵循DFG的编目规则，并将在印刷目录和开放获取的在线存储库中发布。
