italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
I got the following message slightly wrong! I tried to contact my version
of the email address in the message, and it didn't work. The correct
address is even longer than I thought (not "Umanistica2", but
"Umanistica/Biblioteca2"). The version below ought to work ....

> Dear Folks,
> I can't tell you anything specifically about incunabula. But the
> University of Turin has a site on which you can raise full digitized
> images of a considerable number of 16th-century and 17th-century texts.
> The site may be traceable simply under the title "OPAL libri antichi".
> But the full (long) email address which will get you there is:--

>
> Got that? Repeat it after me ....

> Dear colleagues,
>
> the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft is currently funding a project
> for the digitization of the incunabula of the Bayerische
> Staatsbibliothek München, which comprises c. 9700 editions in more
> than 20.000 copies and constitutes the largest collection world-wide
> in terms of copies. It is intended to digitized one copy per edition.
>
> Since the beginning of the project, digital images of more than 1100
> incunabula have been made freely available online. The can be
> accessed in several ways:
>
> 1. OPAC: http://www.bsb-muenchen.de/
> Short records of all digitized incunabula have been integrated into
> the Bavarian Union Catalogue (Gateway Bayern) and the local OPAC of
> the BSB. However, these records do not contain the same level of
> detail as the BSB's printed and electronic incunable catalogue (BSB-
> Ink, see below 3). You can search for catalogue numbers in BSB-Ink
> and GW via the "freie Suche"; it is recommended to place them in
> inverted commas (e.g.. "BSB-Ink M-149" or "GW M19909").
> The digital images can be accessed under "Weblinks" or the URL/URN.
> From Gateway Bayern, the button "SFX" (in the bottem right-hand
> corner) offers a connection to the full record in the online database
> of BSB-Ink.
>
> 2. Digital collections: http://www.digital-collections.de/index.html?
> c=kurzsammlungen&l=en
> Here you find, by order of projects, lists of incunabula which have
> been digitized, which can be sorted in alphabetical or chronological
> order or by shelfmarks.
> The current project is listed under:
> Incunabula
> http://mdz10.bib-bvb.de/~db/ausgaben/uni_ausgabe.html?projekt=1157526886
> All incunabula digitized in other projects which have already been
> completed, like "Book illustrations (woodcuts) of the 15th century",
> "Early modern broadsides" (if before 1501) and the "Gutenberg-Bible",
> are already accessible via BSB-Ink online.
>
> 3. BSB-Ink online: http://www.bsb-muenchen.de/Inkunabeln.181.0.html
> The electronic catalogue of incunabula was converted from the printed
> version, published in the Reichert-Verlag Wiesbaden in so far 6
> volumes since 1988. All digitized images of incunabula are
> successively integrated into this database, which contains the most
> detailed descriptions (both bibliographic and copy-specific data). In
> the course of the current project, iconographic data (IconClass and
> keywords) are created for illustrated incunabula; these can be
> searched via the function "Bildsuche".
>
> We constantly strive to consider suggestions for improvements in the
> online presentation as well as wishes for incunabula to be digitized,
> inasmuch as it is feasible in the project workflow. In the current
> phase of the project, primarily illustrated and German incunabula as
> well as unique copies will be digitized. It is intended to continue
> the project for the entire collection (in one copy per edition).
>
> If would like to draw your special attention to the unique copy of
> the "Türkenkalender" from the workshop of Johannes Gutenberg himself,
> the earliest incunable in German printed in December 1454, which was
> recently digizited from the original - a "Liber Eximiae Raritatis et
> inter Cimelia Bibliothecae asservandus" in the words of the Bavarian
> historian Andreas Felix von Oefele (1706-1780):
> http://mdzx.bib-bvb.de/bsbink/Ausgabe_M-149.html
