The Freiburg manuscript database

lull1.gif

Ever since its foundation in 1957, the Raimundus-Lullus-Institut at the University of Freiburg has built up a microfilm collection of manuscripts of Ramon Llull's Latin works. This unique collection comprises more than 2200 microfilms, including copies of a great number of printed editions and Catalan manuscripts. 

In order to make this collection more widely accessible, the Raimundus-Lullus-Institut carried out the project 'Ramon Llull im WWW' from 2000 till 2016. Thanks to the cooperation with the Freiburg University Computing Centre and the University Library, and partly sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, a huge part of our microfilm collection has been digitized and made available on the Internet.

Since January 2008 the database has been extended by digitized manuscripts of Llull's works in Romance languages. Thanks to the financing provided by the Patronat Ramon Llull (www.patronatramonllull.org/) we have been able to draw on the digitized collection of microfilms owned by the Centre de Documentació Ramon Llull (cdocllull.narpan.net/) of the University of Barcelona. Almost 700 manuscripts from various European libraries are now accessible online.


 

How to use the database

Under https://lullus.uni-freiburg.de

the user will find a query form that provides the option to search for either

a) shelf marks of codices or titles of works by Ramon Llull (or the Bonner catalogue numbers: orbita.bib.ub.es/llull/cioarl.asp),

b) cities where the codices are located.

Each database entry contains the name of the library, the shelf mark of the respective manuscript, and a list of Llull’s Latin works included in the codex. Spurious works and those by authors other than Llull have usually been skipped for reasons of economy. Only a selected number of his Catalan works have been listed. The title of any given work is complemented by its number in the Glorieux, Platzeck, Bonner, and ROL catalogues. In addition, each manuscript is linked with the corresponding entry in the Ramon Llull Database of the University of Barcelona (Base de Dades Ramon Llull / Ramon Llull Database: orbita.bib.ub.es/llull/), which offers information concerning Lullian works, manuscripts and editions, catalogues, Lullists, and secondary literature.
