Metadata for 186 manuscripts from the Slavic collection at Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, in Vienna, Austria, is now available in Reading Room
Posted: 2025-03-27Along with thousands of other manuscripts in a wide range of languages, the HMML team filmed 186 manuscripts in Cyrillic and Glagolitic at the Austrian National Library. Some of these have been at the Austrian National Library for over two centuries, although many were purchased in the 19th century.
The collection includes all manner of texts, but the most common are liturgical works, such as copies of the Menaion, the Euchologion, Octoechos, Psalters, and Gospel books. Distinctive hagiographical works includes the lives of Serbian saints Sava (1169-1237) and Simeon (or Stefan Nemanja, 1114-1200). There are also numerous volumes of church law or the Nomocanon. The works written in Cyrillic date from the 13th to the 19th centuries, while the Glagolitic books tend to be older, dating from the 10th to the 16th centuries. View now
