Württembergisches in Donaueschinger Handschriften?
-
Katrin Sturm
Abstract
After the State of Baden-Württemberg in 1993 purchased the manuscript collection of the princely house of Fürstenberg in Donaueschingen, which is of particular significance for German medieval studies, the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe commenced work on recataloguing the German-language codices. Initially, in a first stage of the project, the literary manuscripts were tackled; since 2015 the theological manuscripts have been the focus of a cataloguing project financed by the German National Research Council (DFG). As the theological material, unlike the literary items, had been less visible to scholarship, it was clear from the beginning of the project that a treasure trove of largely still unknown medieval sources for the south-west German lands was waiting to be found here. Furthermore, the findings in this project promise new perspectives on the region of Württemberg, and it is now to present some of the individual medieval manuscripts that originated here and analyse them in some detail. In a final overview an attempt is made to establish the contours of the Württemberg manuscripts, by contrast for example with the Upper Rhine, and to suggest possible reasons for the observations presented.
