Digitization and Cataloguing of post-medieval Latin manuscripts in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (SLUB)

德累斯顿萨克森州立大学图书馆收藏了大约1,356件中世纪后的拉丁文手稿。其中大部分可以追溯到17和18世纪;但也有相当数量的手稿可以追溯到16世纪，有少量的项目从19世纪。一方面，他们的地理起源可以追溯到中欧的领土，被称为德意志民族的神圣罗马帝国。另一方面，相当多的移民似乎来自法国和意大利。这些材料侧重于各种具体问题和广泛的主题。语料库中的文本可能涉及神学，但也涉及古典古代，以及传记和历史背景，包括家谱和纹章;它们提供钱币学方面的帐户，并提供哲学，法律，医学，自然历史，占星术，炼金术和其他学科的论文，尤其是数学。目前的目录已经跟不上图书馆用户和研究人员不断变化的需求。因此，学者谁喜欢研究德累斯顿抄本拉丁仍然不得不依靠印刷的来源，是在19世纪结束时开始。这是当时图书馆事业的一项了不起的壮举，但对现代科学研究来说，它已经成为一种阻碍而不是帮助。人文社会科学因此，该项目的目的是对保存在德累斯顿萨克森国家和大学图书馆的中世纪后拉丁文手稿进行编目和检索，并以这种方式使手稿更容易获得。新目录的工作应分两步进行。正如本申请所述，第一阶段包括根据既定方法对整个后中世纪拉丁语手稿语料库进行编目，该方法对每个项目进行简短但充分的描述。这将使研究人员在明确定义的短时间内轻松访问手稿数据。第二步，将对被认为特别重要和与研究相关的手稿进行更深入的分析和描述。在编目过程中，手稿将被数字化。利用先进的技术，并借鉴古文字学和编纂学等学科的最新研究成果，新创建的档案馆将为学者和学生提供他们在这些原始材料上合作所需的工具，并将为研究这些手稿及其制作的历史和文化背景开辟新的途径。

The Saxon State and University Library Dresden collection of post-medieval Latin manuscripts comprises about 1,356 items. Most of them date from the 17th and 18th centuries; but there is also a sizeable number of manuscripts dating from the 16th century, with a comparably small number of items from the 19th century. On the one hand, their geographical provenience can be tracedback to the territories in Central Europe, known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. On the other hand, Quite a large number of manuscriptsseems to originate from France and Italy. The material focuses on a variety of specific issues and wide-ranged topics. The texts in the corpus may refer to theology, but also to classical antiquity and to biographical and historical contexts, including genealogy and heraldic matters; they offer accounts on numismatics, and they provide treatises on philosophy, law, medicine, natural history, astrology, alchemy and other subjects, not least mathematics.The current catalogue has not kept pace with the changing needs of library users and researchers. Consequently, scholars who like to study the Dresden Codices Latini still have to rely on a printed source that was begun at the end of the 19th century. A remarkable feat of librarianship at the time, it has become rather a hindrance than a help for modern scientific research. the humanities and the social sciences.. The aim of the project is therefore to catalogue and to digitize the post-medieval Latin manuscripts kept in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden, and to make the manuscripts more accessible in this way..The working of the new catalogue should progress in two steps. As presented in this application, the first phase consists of cataloguing the whole corpus of post-medieval Latin manuscripts according to an established method, which gives a short but adequate description of every item. This will give researchers, easy access to the manuscript data within a well-defined and short time-frame. In a second step, manuscripts that are judged to be especially important and relevant for research will be analysed and described in a deeper way. During the cataloguing process, the manuscripts will be digitized. Using advanced technology and drawing on the latest research findings from disciplines such as palaeography and codicology, the newly created archive will give scholars and students the tools they need to work collaboratively on these source materials, and will open up new avenues to the study of those manuscripts and the historical and cultural context of their production.
