Metadata for 792 manuscripts from the Universitätsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has been added to Reading Room. The manuscripts in the archive are divided into several collections, many of which come from religious communities closed during the Reformation. These include important collections from the Dominicans, Carmelites, Reichsstift Sankt Bartholomäus, and Sankt Leonhard Stift. The collection contains an important, but small, collection of Ethiopian and Arabic manuscripts, as well as several volumes in German, French, and Italian. Of particular interest are the late medieval liturgical manuscripts of Reichsstift Sankt Bartholomäus. View now
