Cataloguing of the occidental medieval manuscripts of the Göttingen State and University Library

哥廷根州立大学图书馆拥有426份西方中世纪手稿，涵盖了广泛的主题。图书馆于1734年建立，作为学术研究的收藏，几乎所有的中世纪手稿都是在拍卖会上逐渐获得的，以补充通用图书馆的印刷书籍收藏。在18世纪，根据广泛的学科分类，它们与现代手稿一起被搁置在一起。因此，他们记录了启蒙运动时期学者对中世纪知识的接受。到目前为止，直到1894年才获得的中世纪手稿只被编目得不够。然而，由于它们涉及许多知识领域，它们与几乎所有与中世纪有关的研究兴趣的学科都相关。这个为期六年的项目的目标是将所有231份中世纪拉丁文手稿编目到历史学、文献学、自然史学、侏罗狄加、哲学、哲学和神学等类别，以及所有学科类别的74份中世纪白话手稿。编目工作以DFG手稿编目标准为基础，由两名编目人员共同完成。在第一个三年一度的项目阶段(直到2019年8月31日)，46份中世纪白话手稿根据德国国防部的《Richtlinien Handschriftenkatalogisierung》由德国副总工会的一名雇员描述，29份拉丁文手稿由HAB Wolfenbüttel的一名雇员描述，这些描述可在HAB手稿数据库(www.hab.de)和手稿(http://www.manuscripta-mediaevalia.de/).)中获得偏离原定时间表和出版手稿说明数量的原因是，两个项目成员在第一个项目阶段都申请了费用中立的延期，这得到了副总干事的批准。因此，哥廷根的第一个项目阶段延长了3个月(到2020年4月15日)，沃尔芬布特尔的员工延长了13个月(到2021年1月31日)。在目前的第一个项目阶段，对要描述的整个手稿集合(152份手稿)进行了保守处理。除此之外，B Göttingen的一名研究生助理和HAB Wolfenbüttel的一名员工记录并描述了整个第一项目阶段的装订邮票(EBDB；Staatsbibliothek zu柏林-Preuçischer Kulbuesitz)和手稿的水印(WZIS；Landesarchive v Baden-Württemberg)。

.Göttingen State and University Library possesses 426 occidental medieval manuscripts which cover a wide range of subjects. After the library was founded in 1734 as a collection for scholarly research, almost all of the medieval manuscripts were gradually acquired at auction sales to complement the universal library’s holdings of printed books. In the 18th century they were shelved together with modern manuscripts according to a broad subject classification. Thus, they document the reception of medieval knowledge by scholars at the time of Enlightenment.So far the medieval manuscripts acquired until the year 1894 have only been catalogued insufficiently. Since they touch many fields of knowledge, however, they are relevant for nearly all disciplines with research interests pertaining to medieval times. The six-years-project’s aim is to catalogue all 231 medieval Latin manuscripts in the classes Historia, Historia literarum, Historia naturalis, Juridica, Philolologia, Philosophia and Theologia and the 74 medieval vernacular manuscripts in all subject classes. The cataloguing is based on the DFG-standards for manuscript cataloguing and the work will be shared by two cataloguers. Insufficiently indexed written sources and their material evidence will be catalogued to meet to present research requirements.In the first triannual project phase (until 31.08.2019), 46 vernacular medieval manuscripts were described according to the "Richtlinien Handschriftenkatalogisierung" of the DFG by an employee of the SUB Göttingen and 29 Latin manuscripts by an employee of the HAB Wolfenbüttel and The descriptions were made available in the manuscript database of the HAB (www.hab.de) and in Manuscripta Mediaevalia (http://www.manuscripta-mediaevalia.de/). The deviation from the original schedule and the number of published manuscript descriptions can be explained by the fact that both project members applied for a cost-neutral extension during the first project phase which was approved of by the DFG. As a result, the first project phase was extended by 3 months for the employee in Göttingen (until 15.04.2020) and by 13 months for the employee in Wolfenbüttel (until 31.01.2021).In the current first project phase, a conservational treatment of the entire collection of manuscripts to be described (152 manuscripts) was carried out. In addition to this, a graduate assistant of the SUB Göttingen and an employee of the HAB Wolfenbüttel recorded and described the binding stamps (EBDB; Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz) and the watermarks of the manuscripts for the entire first project phase (WZIS; Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg).
