Linda Maria Koldau: Rezension zu: Douteil, Herbert: Suntrup, Rudolf; Angenendt, Arnold; Honemann, Volker (Hrsg.): Die Concordantiae Caritatis des Ulrich von Lilienfeld. Edition des Codex Campililiensis 151 (um 1355) und Übersetzung. Münster 2010, in: H-Soz-u-Kult, 30.06.2010, http://hsozkult.geschichte.hu-berlin.de/rezensionen/2010-2-245

Wieso heutzutage eine solche Erschließungsarbeit in einem kommerziellen Verlag und zum prohibitiven Preis von 159 Euro erscheinen muss statt "Open Access", wird von der rezensentin leider nicht thematisiert - sie konnte ja ein kostenloses Rezensionsexemplar abgreifen. Es steht zu erwarten, dass nur wenige Spezialbibliotheken sich das Werk leisten werden (schließlich muss man ja die munter steigenden Preise der STM-zeitschriften finanzieren) und dass es - Bestandteil der Handapparate der Handschriftenabteilungen - eher schwierig per Fernleihe zu beschaffen sein wird. Wer außerhalb eines solchen Forschungskontextes siedelt, hat dann eben Pech gehabt.

Seit heute wird ein neuer, kostenfreier Online-Katalog zur Musik unter
http://opac.rism.info angeboten. Etwa 700.000 Nachweise von meist
handschriftlichen Quellen werden in dieser Datenbank ausfuehrlich nach
wissenschaftlichen Kriterien katalogisiert angeboten. Die
Handschriften
werden heute in Hunderten von Bibliotheken und Archiven weltweit
aufbewahrt.
In ihnen sind musikalische Werke von 30.000 Komponisten ueberliefert.
Der Katalog wurde ermoeglicht durch eine Kooperation zwischen dem
Internationalen Quellenlexikon der Musik (Repertoire International des
Sources Musicales, kurz RISM), der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek und
der
Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.

Besonders aktuell scheint der Datenbestand nicht zu sein, wenn ich mir

anschaue. Die Donaueschinger Musikhandschriften sind doch schon seit Jahren in der BLB Karlsruhe! Die Information

Ansetzungsform: Fürstlich Fürstenbergische Hofbibliothek, Donaueschingen

ist aus meiner Sicht nicht gerade unmissverständlich.

Bei Komponisten ist die PND angegeben.

Zum Start der neuen Rubrik "Kodikologie", die sich vorzugsweise der Erforschung von und den Neuigkeiten über abendländische Handschriften aus Mittelalter und Renaissance widmet, folgt hier eine Liste von Beiträgen, bei denen es untunlich schien, sie umzusortieren.

Wapenboek Beyeren gedigitaliseerd

De KB heeft een bijzonder middeleeuws handschrift gedigitaliseerd. Het Wapenboek Beyeren bevat meer dan duizend tekeningen van wapenschilden en kan worden gezien als een Who's Who van de middeleeuwen. Het boek is geschreven door Claes Heynenzoon die rond 1400 een van de belangrijkste diplomaten van de Nederlanden was. De auteur legde zijn kennis van de internationale ridderschap vast in dit wapenboek. Het handschrift is rond 1405 geschreven in Den Haag.

Eine im Jahr 1927 von Hermann Menhardt im Handschriftenverzeichnis der Kärntner Bibliotheken (Bd. 1, S. 262) beschriebene Handschrift, die sich damals in Klagenfurt im Privatbesitz von Ernst Urbas befand, wird nach Auskunft von Ulrike Bodemann (München) am 10. Juli 2010 bei Christie's in London versteigert (Sale 7911, Lot 43). Der im alemannischen Sprachraum im Jahr 1499 entstandene und von Petrus Brack de Minderdorff geschriebene Codex ist reichhaltig illustriert und überliefert u.a. die sog. 'Kemptener Chronik' des Johannes Birk. Meldet der Handschriftencensus.

A RARE COPY OF JOHANNES BIRK'S HISTORY OF THE ABBEY OF KEMPTEN AND LIFE OF ST HILDEGARD IN GERMAN, SIGNED AND DATED BY THE SCRIBE
PROVENANCE:
1. Presumably made for the Benedictine Abbey of Kempten in the diocese of Constance, in present day Allgaü, south-west Bavaria. St Hildegard, Charlemagne and their son, Louis the Pious, were revered as benefactors and founders of the Abbey in the 8th century. Eleven volumes are known to have survived from its library (see S. Krämer, Handschriftenerbe des Deutschen Mittelalters, I, 1989, this manuscript cited p.392). The manuscript is signed and dated on f.92 by the scribe, Peter Brack of Minderdorff on Thursday before the Purification of the Virgin (2 February), 1499: 'Diss biechlin ist volendet und geschriben am dornstag vor unser lieben frowen tag irer rainigung zuo liechtmess Anno dni.Mo cccco lxxxxviiijno per me petrum brack von minderdorff'. The death of the father of Petrus Brack of Oberminderdorff is added beside 22 November in the calendar, which includes saints revered in Augsburg and Constance.
2. The list of contents in Latin added to the verso of f.ii in a 17th-century hand suggests the volume was still at Kempten where it probably remained until the abbey was suppressed in 1802.
3. In 1927 the manuscript was in the private collection of Ernst Urbas of Klagenfurt, Austria, where it had been described by Hermann Menhardt in 1924 (H. Menhardt, Handschriftenverzeichnis der Kärntner Bibliotheken, Bd.1, Vienna, 1927, S.262, see notes reproduced on www.bbaw.de, Handschriftenarchiv).

CONTENT:
Calendar, each month with accompanying notes on astrology, on determining auspicious times for taking cold water baths, advice on which food, drink and medicines to be consumed according to the season, and medical dictums from the classical world including those of Aristotle, Galen, Seneca, Albumasar and Hippocrates ff.3-12v; 'Nach Volget Unnd ist ze mercken dyew aigenschafft aines yedlichen Mensch[e]n', on the nature of man (including, for example, 'Item. Dye forcht ligt dem mensch[e]n Inn Dem Hertzen') f.13; circular diagram and explanatory notes on the planets and days of the week, a list of zodiac signs with computational tables, ff.13v-15; '... wann es gut od[e]r bös zu der Aderlassen sey', on bloodletting, with a list of zodiac signs and their influence, computational tables for the years 1500-1577, circular diagram and explanations on the planets relating to the seasons, elements and the bodily humours ff.15v-21; Stifftung des gotzhaus kempt[e]n un[d] sant hyltgart[e]n leben ff.24-92, an account of the building and endowing of the abbey, a list of its relics which include a part of Aaron's rod, Noah's Ark and St Peter's Cross, manna and St Michael Archangel's footprint ff.36v-39, accounts of patron saints Gordian and Epimachus ff.39v-47v, indulgences given for the altar of St Hildegard at Kempten and for the chapel at Burghalde castle ff.47v-49v, of the twelve kings and noblemen who came to Kempten with St Hildegard ff.50-57v, God's miraculous deeds at Kempten carried out through St Hildegard and Louis the Pious ff.58-80v, the miracles performed by Charlemagne ff.81-81v, a record of important historical events until 1494 ff.82-87, 'Zu dem letsten des biechlins merck ein klain history von dem loblich[e]n un[d] vest[e]n ritter hainrich[e]n von kempt[en]', a history of the knight, Heinrich of Kempten detailing his four knightly deeds (ff.87-92); colophon f.92; added instructions on how to grow trees in a garden ff.146v-147.

This is a rare copy of the text in German, with only three other manuscripts apparently recorded: a copy bound with a chronicle of Augsburg by Sigismund Meisterlin, Universitätsbibliothek, Würzburg (U.B. cod. M.ch.f.97, ff.124-230v), with Birk's text dated after 1483, and Augsburg, Staats- und Stadtbibliothek, 2° Cod 249, written in 1582 by the scribe Jeremias Lentzer of Wettenhausen, copied from an earlier text signed and dated 1506 by the scribe Johannes Kreler.

[Christie's übersieht die Krälersche Handschrift von 1506 Cgm 9280: http://www.handschriftencensus.de/14744 ohne Nennung des Schreibers Johann Kräler]

Johannes Birk of Biberach, who studied in Vienna and Heidelberg and from the late 1460s until 1494 ran the Abbey school at Kempten, originally wrote three distinct works, in Latin; the lives of St Hildegard, of Charlemagne, and a history of Kempten, elaborating earlier sources such as Gottfried of Marsilia and Pseudo Turpin. He followed with this simplified combination of all three in the vernacular.

ILLUSTRATION:
Colour-washed drawings were especially favoured in southern Germany for providing effective illustrations quickly and economically. The resulting economy of style encouraged a telling use of assured line, with colour as an attractive adjunct that could, however, be crucial for clarifying figures and details. The convention of unframed pictures with minimal settings meant the artist had to focus on essentials to convey the subject through a frieze of figures strikingly isolated against the page.

The subjects of the drawings are as follows:
f.24 The Virgin and Child in a mandorla beside the Abbey of Kempten
f.24v St Hildegard and Charlemagne holding a model of the Abbey
f.26 St Hildegard and Louis the Pious with a young girl, illustrating the chapter on St Hildegard's descendants
