Stift Rein Bei Graz. Bibliothek: HMML Repository
Stift Rein bei Graz. Bibliothek
Founded in 1129 by Margrave Leopold I of Styria, this Cistercian monastery is located in extreme eastern Austria. From the 13th c. a Latin school flourished there, but when the monastery was sacked by the Turks in 1480 many of its manuscripts perished. Still Rein remains the oldest surviving Cistercian monastery in the world, and of its present collection of 206 codices, 158 were photographed for HMML. These date from the 12th to the 18th c., but are chiefly dated before 1700.
