Media inventory & research tools

Whether you are looking for old prints, manuscripts, or archival materials, find the right way to access our historical collections and research methods!

Provenances

We document the provenance of old holdings as far as possible for manuscripts, incunabula, and selected old prints.
The provenances are recorded electronically and made searchable in the online catalog under the search option "Provenance."

Incunabula and block books

Among the most valuable holdings are block books and incunabula from before 1501. They illustrate the technical and intellectual awakening of early printing.

Outstanding examples include the single-sheet print Respice Domine (around 1457), fragments of the 36-line Bible, the 48-line Bible (1462), German-language Bibles by Mentelin and Eggstein, the Corpus Juris (1468), the Speculum humanae salvationis with colored woodcuts, and Latin and German editions of Schedel's World Chronicle (1493).

The focus is on theology, law, language and literature, history, political science and medicine. Closed collections of renowned scholars such as Döllinger, Kuhn and Maassen document the breadth of scientific research tradition and reflect the intellectual life of their time.
