Catalogue of illuminated manuscripts of French origin in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich. Part 1: Manuscripts from the 10th up to the mid-14th century

彩绘手稿构成了中世纪艺术史的重要素材，因为它们比壁画或绘画等其他二维艺术作品保存下来的数量要多得多。此外，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文献学，再到医学史和法律史，因为它们不仅传递文本和视觉信息，而且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。为了系统地获取这些材料，需要对照明手稿进行详细的描述，包括基于风格特征和起源历史的艺术史评估，以及它们的内容和图像意义。该项目致力于为这一领域的进一步研究提供可靠和连贯的信息基础，供专业艺术史学家和一般中世纪学者使用。慕尼黑的巴伐利亚国立图书馆不仅收藏了大量在德语区和意大利装饰过的拉丁文和古典籍手稿，而且——与其他德国机构相比——还收藏了大量来自法国的中世纪手稿。由于中世纪艺术家和手稿的流动性，邻近地区，如今天的比利时，西班牙和英国被包括在语料库中，结果包括约425份手稿，其中约250份可追溯到10世纪至14世纪中期，约175份可追溯到14世纪中期至16世纪初。作为2013年完成的对意大利所有中世纪手稿的描述的延续，目前的项目旨在对10世纪至14世纪中期的约250份手稿进行编目，第一阶段为期五年。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。

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. In addition, 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, as they not only transmit textual and visual information, but 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 informational 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 ver-nacular manuscripts decorated in the German-speaking areas and Italy, but also - in comparison with other German institutions - an outstanding collection of mediaeval manuscripts from France. Due to the mobility of mediaeval artists and manuscripts, neighbouring areas like modern-day Belgium, Spain and Britain are included in the corpus, which as a result comprises about 425 manuscripts, of which about 250 date from the 10th to the mid-14th century and about 175 from the mid-14th century to the early 16th century. In continuation of an enterprise completed in 2013 which produced descriptions of all mediaeval manuscripts illuminated in Italy, the current project aims at cataloguing the c. 250 manuscripts dating from the 10th to the mid-14th century in a first phase of five 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.
