Medieval Manuscripts from the Mainz Charterhouse in the Bodleian Library, OxfordA Descriptive Catalogue\nAuthor(s): Daniela Mairhofer\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bodleian Library, United Kingdom\nImprint: Bodleian Library\nISBN-13: 9781851244546, 978-1851244546\nSynopsis\nThe Bodleian Library is one of the few libraries outside Germany with a substantial number of medieval manuscripts from the German-speaking lands. These manuscripts, most of which were acquired by Archbishop Laud in the 1630s, during the Thirty Years War, mainly consist of major groups of codices from ecclesiastical houses in the Rhine-Main area, that is Wrzburg, Mainz, and Eberbach. Their potential contribution to the religious and intellectual history of these foundations and to the study of German medieval culture as a whole is immeasurable.\n\n This book contains descriptions of over one hundred medieval, manuscripts, mostly Latin, from the Charterhouse St Michael at Mainz, founded in the early 1320s.
