DIGITAL EDITION: Mystische Bücher in der Bibliothek der Kartause Erfurt

This edition is part of the Freiburg DFG project “Making Mysticism. Mystical books in the library of the Erfurt Kartause" (https://making-mysticism.org/).

It provides:
- a slightly normalized critical new edition of the 'mystical' signature groups D, DF, E, F and I of the library catalog of the Erfurt Charterhouse St. Salvatorberg (Erfurt, Bibliothek des Bistumsarchivs, Hs. Hist. 6), which was created around 1475 and continued until around 1520;
- the first edition of the DEF, D, E and F accompanying - mostly introductory - comments (they are of compilatory nature), which testify to the conceptual structure and the mystical character of the catalogue;
- development tools for the edited text in form of apparatus and registers that provide information about the text-critical decisions of the editors, the codicological features of Hs. Hist. 6, inform about the authors and works referred to in D (theologia mystica) and I (exempla et revelationes) and the sources cited in the mostly introductory comments;
- a (not yet complete) overview of the scribal hands involved in the creation of the signature groups D, DF, E, F and I in the "Buchansicht" mode of the digital edition, which allows the state of the catalog around 1475 and around 1520 to be displayed, and
- diverse research materials, which can be accessed either via the tab "Materialien" of the Digital Edition or the project portal https://making-mysticism.org: e.g. a de verbo ad verbum translation of the commentaries on DEF, D, E and F; an overview of the preserved book stock of the Erfurt Charterhouse (including the books listed in D, DF, E, F and I), a testimonial of reception of the Erfurt Carthusian catalog from the 16th century, the digital copy of Hs. Hist. 6 and of Lehmann's edition in the Mirador viewer and much more.
- care was taken to ensure that the digital edition could be cited even in print publications
