Digitalization of medieval manuscripts from Helmstedt: The collection of Matthias Flacius and other provenances

前赫尔姆斯泰特大学(1576年-1810年)的手稿收藏，其中包括朱莉娅图书馆(即16世纪布伦瑞克-L吕内堡公爵朱利叶斯的书籍和手稿收藏)，是目前保存在赫尔佐格·奥古斯特图书馆的手稿收藏中最古老的部分。这些所谓的Codices Helmstadiens目前是DFG资助的一个编目项目的主题(《Katalogisierung der mittelAlternlichen Helmstedter Handschristen》)，该项目的结果将陆续在网上和几卷印刷本上发表。作为补充措施，这里介绍的项目旨在以数字形式提供藏品的重要部分，即新教神学家和教会历史学家Matthias Flacius illyricus(1520-1575年)拥有的手稿，朱利叶斯公爵本人收藏的有价值的古典作家版本，以及布伦瑞克市抄写员和学者Gerwin von Hameln(约1415-1496年)收藏的一些手稿。介绍将符合手稿编目和数字化的最新标准，旨在进一步促进对馆藏内容的历史研究，以及对单个手稿的个人历史的研究。为此，项目中产生的数字复制品可以通过Herzog Austant Bibliothek的手稿数据库免费在线访问，并在知识共享许可下重复使用。

The manuscript collection of the former University of Helmstedt (1576–1810), which includes, among others, the Bibliotheca Julia (i.e. the 16th century collection of books and manuscripts of Duke Julius of Brunswick-Lüneburg), forms the oldest part of the collection of manuscripts that are currently preserved at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel. These so-called Codices Helmstadienses are currently the subject of a cataloging project funded by the DFG (“Katalogisierung der mittelalterlichen Helmstedter Handschriften”), whose results will be published successively online as well as in several printed volumes. As a complementary measure, the project presented here aims to provide a significant part of the collection in digital form, namely the manuscripts from the possession of the Protestant theologian and church historian Matthias Flacius Illyricus (1520–1575), the valuable editions of classical authors collected by Duke Julius himself and a number of manuscripts from the collection of the Brunswick city scribe and scholar Gerwin von Hameln (c. 1415–1496). The presentation, which will comply with the latest standards of manuscript cataloging and digitalization, is intended to further stimulate historical research into the collection’s contents, and also in the individual history of single manuscripts. For this purpose, the digital reproductions generated in the project can be freely accessed online via the Herzog August Bibliothek’s manuscript database and reused under a Creative Commons license.
