The Crosiers' library in Düsseldorf - reconstruction and comparative analysis

该项目的目标是对杜塞尔多夫的Crosiers图书馆进行数字化重建，并对杜塞尔多夫地方图书馆保存下来的藏品进行分析。除了通常的书目信息外，藏书的具体信息，如以前的借阅号、所有者和历史书籍装订的特征将被记录下来，并可以进行搜索。数字演示文稿还将简要介绍杜塞尔多夫在霍亨布施、威克拉思和梅明根的藏品。作为资格鉴定工作的一部分，一部专著将展示居住在杜塞尔多夫的修道院秩序的图书财产、文本和知识概况。它还将把Crosiers的收藏放在媒体变革的历史背景下。除了系统的方法外，还计划对手稿B 103中独特的、迄今完全未被探索的“杜塞尔多夫奇迹”传统进行深入分析。这一分析将说明克罗西尔人对年轻的杜塞尔多夫城市的重要性。除此之外，还将审查其他手稿，以了解它们的起源和细节。例如，一位抄写员在页边和正文中使用了一个密码，这样就可以对他写的和评论的书籍的用法做出结论。这个项目的另一个目的是促进年轻学者的古文字学和编纂知识，因为这些技能对分析和分类中世纪图书馆藏书至关重要。

The aims of the project are a digital reconstruction of the Crosiers' library in Düsseldorf and an analysis of the preserved collection in the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Düsseldorf. Aside from the usual bibliographic information, the holdings specifics such as former call numbers, owners and characteristics of the historic book bindings will be documented and can be searched. The digital presentation will also offer a synopsis of the Düsseldorf collection with the Crosiers' libraries in Hohenbusch, Wickrath and Memmingen.A monograph, which forms one part of a qualification work, will present book property, textuality and intellectual profile of the monastic order in the residence town Düsseldorf. It will also set the Crosiers' collection in the time of media change in its historic context. In addition to the systematic approach an in-depth analysis is planned of the unique and so far completely unexplored tradition of the “Düsseldorf miracles” in the manuscript B 103. This analysis will illustrate the Crosiers' importance for the young city of Düsseldorf. In addition to that, other manuscripts will be examined as examples regarding their genesis and specifics. One scribe for instance used a secret code in the marginalia and in the main text, which allows conclusions on the usage of his written and commented books.Another aim of this project is to promote the paleographical and codicological knowledge of young scholars since these skills are essential for the analysis and classification of medieval library collections.
