Synopsis

A detailed guide to the manuscript collection of the Vienna Scotos monastery, with notes on origins, cataloging, and holders.

This edition presents a scholarly facsimile-era catalog of handwritten codices kept at the Monasterii B. M. V. Ad Scotos in Vienna. It traces how entries were prepared, who donated or exchanged books, and how the library's holdings grew over time. The text blends catalog data with commentary on editors, sources, and the careful work of librarians and scholars who shaped the collection.

  • Descriptions that reveal provenance, ownership marks, and donation details.
  • Notes on related bibliographies and scholarly references that informed the catalog.
  • Context for researchers studying monastic libraries, book history, and manuscript culture.
