Cataloguing and digitization of mediaeval manuscripts at the State and University Library (SUB) Hamburg, Carl von Ossietzky. Liturgical manuscripts and chronicles of St. Katharinen (Hamburg) in the context of their tradition

该项目的主题是52份手稿（12 - 18世纪），记录了汉堡和北方德国的中世纪情况。其中，13个礼仪抄本（15 - 16世纪）和7个编年史（16 - 17世纪）尚未编目至今。另一份手稿是通过一个时间胶囊保存的18世纪世纪也必须进行分析。17份手稿以前属于圣卡塔琳娜图书馆，该图书馆是水手的赞助教堂，也是汉堡五大教堂之一。这些部分被照亮的手稿是该项目的重点，因为对它们的内容和形式或它们的生产和接收条件几乎一无所知。因此，关于中世纪晚期汉堡的礼拜仪式、宗教生活和书籍生产的重要信息缺乏。编目的迫切需要是所有更迫切的手稿在一段时间内，在大教堂和五个主要教堂的神职人员在汉堡可能已经在生动的接触和外国的影响达到了城市的贸易。另外31礼仪手稿的项目以前属于主要教堂圣雅各比和圣佩特里（汉堡）和其他未确定的所有者。这些抄本将被视为圣卡塔琳娜手稿编目的比较基础。所有52份手稿都必须数字化，以便提供一个可持续利用的资源，不仅要对有关项目，而且要对随之而来的跨学科和前瞻性计划的研究工作给予应有的保护。所有电子副本将在线提供（CC BY-SA 4.0）。结果将以印刷形式和电子形式在前瞻性Handschriftenportal上发布。讲习班和展览将丰富与科学界和公众的交流。两者都将有助于成果的可持续利用。总而言之：在十个月的时间里，有21份手稿需要编目。计划对所有52份手稿进行数字化。

The subjects of the project at the SUB Hamburg are 52 manuscripts (12th–18th centuries) which document the mediaeval situation in Hamburg and Northern Germany. Amongst them, thirteen liturgical codices (15th–16th centuries) and seven chronicles (16th–17th centuries) have not been catalogued so far. Another manuscript which is preserved through a time capsule of the 18th century has to be analyzed as well. 17 manuscripts formerly belonged to the library of St. Katharinen which was the sailors’ patronage church and one of the five principal churches in Hamburg. These manuscripts which are partly illuminated are at the focus of the project as almost nothing is known about their content and form or the conditions of their production and reception. Thus, important information about the liturgy, religious life and the book production in Hamburg in the late Middle Ages is lacking. The desideratum of cataloguing is all the more urgent as the manuscript were made in a period of time in which the clerics of the cathedral and of the five principal churches in Hamburg might have been in vivid contact and foreign influences reached the city by trade.Further 31 liturgical manuscripts of the project formerly belonged to the principal churches St. Jacobi and St. Petri (Hamburg) and to other not identified possessors. These codices will be considered as comparative basis for the cataloguing of the manuscripts of St. Katharinen. All 52 manuscripts have to be digitized in order to provide a source for sustainable use with due conservational care not only for the project in question, but also for the accompanying interdisciplinary and prospectively planned research work. All digital copies will be provided online (CC BY-SA 4.0). The results will be published in print form and electronically in the prospective Handschriftenportal. A workshop and an exhibition will enrich the communication with the scientific community and the general public. Both will contribute to the sustainable use of the results.To sum up: Over the period of ten months, 21 manuscripts have to be catalogued. All 52 manuscripts are planned for digitization.
