|
Six new collections have decided to provide access to their manuscripts through e-codices:
-
Basel, Pharmacy Museum of the University of Basel: This collection, housed where Paracelsus and Erasmus once dwelled, contains not only old medications and pharmacies, but also about a hundred manuscripts from the 15th to the 18th century. We start with four manuscripts, among them the „Ars hermetis,“ Johannes of Fulda’s work on medical alchemy, formerly owned by Jakob Burckhardt.
-
Bulle, Gruérien Museum: The museum traces the history, art and traditions of the Gruyère region. Its small collection of manuscripts contains, for example, a 13th century Collectarium Cartusianum that formerly belonged to one of the Carthusian monasteries in Western Switzerland (La Valsainte, La Part-Dieu or La Lance).
-
Mariastein Abbey: is a Benedictine monastery and an important pilgrimage site in Switzerland. Three medieval codices from its small manuscript collection can now be found on e-codices.
-
Müstair, Saint John Abbey: This monastery, famous for its Carolingian frescoes, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. A year ago, we were able to digitize its small collection of manuscripts and fragments.
E-codices has been able to provide online access to treasures from 22 archives, some of them previously little-known. With this update two new archives are added.
-
Porrentruy, State Archives Jura: In addition to the actual archival material, archives also often hold several manuscripts.
-
The Georg Fischer Corporate Archive: The Georg Fischer AG in Schaffhausen has an archive of files and documents, pictures, films and exhibits on the history of the company, among them the memory album of pioneer and founder Johann Conrad Fischer (1773-1854).
