Digital Editions Medieval Text Editions

Medieval texts, preserved in unique manuscripts, present particular challenges when it comes to their editorial preparation. Digital editions open up new possibilities for making these sources accessible, readable and usable for scholarly purposes. Drawing on its many years of expertise, Heidelberg University Library develops and oversees such projects, whilst also making outstanding holdings from its significant manuscript collection, the Bibliotheca Palatina, available to the public.
