Cataloguing and digitisation of watermarks in early music prints with polyphonic music

巴伐利亚体育馆(BSB)拥有16世纪和17世纪最重要的复调印刷音乐收藏品之一，共有2300册。这些都是音乐学上突出的来源，其中许多是极其罕见的，从图书馆成立时期和后来的系统增加。该项目旨在通过早期印刷音乐探索一个新的、迄今未被探索的水印研究领域。这一群体中最早的部分，从15世纪末开始的音乐印刷到1550年，是该项目的主题。它包括329个副本，总共901个物理单元。包括合唱团书籍、图表、部分书籍套装、大报和理论。通过系统地将BSB音乐印刷品中的水印编目到1550年，将创建一个主要日期来源的参考库。在项目过程中，将使用热像技术对水印进行记录、记录、数字化和编目。该项目的成果将纳入相关数据库。关于丝状学领域，这是“水印信息系统”(WZIS)。通过WZIS，这些条目还自动登记在国际门户网站“伯恩斯坦--纸的记忆”中。在音乐资源领域，RISM-OPAC是世界上最大的此类数据库。由于藏品的国际重要性和藏品的规模，BSB的来源特别有资格达到这一目的。这为迄今为止尚未得到充分发展的水印研究开辟了一个新的来源部分。同样，这一结果将为研究音乐印刷的起源、16世纪音乐来源的分销渠道和工业音乐商业的起源提供新的基础。

The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB) owns one of the most important collections of polyphonic printed music of the 16th and 17th centuries with a total of 2,300 copies. These are sources of musicological prominence, many of them extremely rare, from the library's founding period and from the later systematic additions. The project aims to explore a new and hitherto unexplored area of watermark research with the early printed music. The earliest segment of this group, from the beginning of music printing at the end of the 15th century to the year 1550, is the subject of the project. It comprises 329 copies with a total number of 901 physical units. Included are choir books, tablatures, part book sets, broadsheets and theorica. A reference stock of predominantly dated sources is to be created by systematically cataloguing the watermarks in the BSB's music prints up to the year 1550. Within the course of the project, the watermarks will be recorded, documented, digitized using thermographic technology and catalogued. The results of the project will be integrated into the relevant databases. Concerning the field of filigranology, this is the "Watermark Information System" (WZIS). Via WZIS, the entries are also automatically registered in the international portal "Bernstein - The memory of paper". For the area of music sources, RISM-OPAC is central as the largest database of its kind worldwide. Due to the internationally important collection and the size of the holdings, the BSB's sources are particularly qualified for this purpose. This opens a new source segment to the watermark research that has been insufficiently developed to date. In the same way, the results should provide a new basis for research on the beginning of music printing, the distribution channels of 16th century music sources and the beginnings of the industrial music business.
