Round Table: Lessons Learned and Results to Share
Wolfgang-Valentin Ikas, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München
1. Bibliotheca Carolina – relevance and scope:
The project involves masterworks from the main abbeys and bishop schools of the Carolingian Empire (8th-9th centuries), including Reichenau, Saint-Denis, Corbie, Reims, Saint-Amand, Freising, Wissembourg.
The manuscripts show the intellectual and artistic activity of these centres of religious life, ecclesiastical and imperial power, and their numerous exchanges of texts and patterns.
The corpus of manuscripts is thus limited by time (approx. 780-900) and space.
Sacramentary of Charles the Bald (around 870), BnF Latin 1141
Book of Gospels of Saint-Médard de Soissons (before 827), BnF Latin 8850
Book of Gospels called « from Xanten » (early 9th c.), KBR 18723
Collection of astrono-mical and computistical texts, Salzburg 818, BSB Clm 210
Gospels of St. Luke and St. John, presumably Mainz (late 9th / early 10th c.), BSB Clm 11019

Number of manuscripts originally planned to be digitised
Number of manuscripts effectively and finally digitised
Additional manuscripts specified by the BnF and the French BM as early as in 2011: + 14 888 mss.
Additional manuscripts digitised by the BSB so far: + 67 (including a number of fragments) 955 mss.
Additional manuscripts digitised by the HAB so far: + 39 994 mss.
As the BnF and / or other partner are going to digitise an extra portion as well the sum total is very likely to exceed 1.000 mss.
Number of manuscripts finally being part of Europeana regia
170 mss. already contributed by St. Gall Monastic Library (part of e-codices)
3 mss. contributed by the University Library of Heidelberg
… and maybe also by the British Library …
Finally resulting in more than 1.200 mss. to be presented via www.europeanaregia.eu !
