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

在他的一生中，Marquard Gude走遍了整个欧洲，收集了大量中世纪和文艺复兴时期的拉丁语和希腊语手稿，这被认为是世纪以来在意大利以外发现的最重要的私人手稿收藏。幸运的是，在古德去世后，几乎所有的手稿都被沃尔芬比特尔的公爵图书馆收藏了。该系列包含许多稀有和珍贵的物品，对于追溯古典古代和中世纪时期的文本传播至关重要。该研究项目的目的不仅是为了更好地了解古抄本的起源和出处，而且还侧重于选定的文本，手稿和手稿组的传播，接受和影响的历史。在该项目的第一个供资期间，实现了三个主要目标：首先，制定了一种新的方法，其中包括将古德的语言学兴趣和他与志同道合的学者网络的通信与他的旅行和他的手稿收购联系起来;第二，通过新的古文字学和古地理学分析，第三，在欧洲各图书馆中发现了古德所写的或与他有关的未经编辑的新资料（如信件、目录等），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.
