Die juristischen Handschriften der Codices Palatini Latini in der Vatikanischen Bibliothek (Cod. Pal. lat. 621–813)

This volume presents the Latin legal manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Palatina, most of which are now in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. This collection has special value due to the manuscripts from Romanic countries it contains, which document the rediscovery and annotation of late antique legal writings and the systematisation of ecclesiastical law collections that shaped Europe from the High Middle Ages onwards. Other codices show close-ups of local practices and interests, for example in the form of codes of procedure, sample forms or personal text collections. The manuscripts cover the 9th to 16th centuries, but have their focus in the 13th to 15th centuries.

Dr. Thorsten Huthwelker received his doctorate in Heidelberg in 2008 with a thesis on the Death and Burial of the Counts Palatine of the Rhine in the Late Middle Ages after studying Medieval and Modern History, Historical Ancillary Sciences and Religious Studies. He has been a research associate in the Special Collections of Heidelberg University Library since 2019.

Dr. Wolfgang Metzger studied Art History, History and Philosophy at the universities of Heidelberg and Paris. His main focus is on researching and cataloguing manuscripts of the European Middle Ages and the early modern period.

Dr. Christoph Winterer received his PhD in Heidelberg in 2005 with a thesis on the Ottonian Fulda Sacramentary in Göttingen after studying in Frankfurt a. M. and Amsterdam. He is an art historian and works at the Wissenschaftliche Stadtbibliothek Mainz as a manuscript cataloguer. As an exhibition curator, he was responsible, among other things, for ‚Behind the Parchment: The World. The Frankfurt Merchant Peter Ugelheimer and the Art of Book Illumination in Renaissance Venice‘ (Dommuseum Frankfurt 2018).

Dr. Karin Zimmermann studied German Language and Literature and Protestant Theology at Heidelberg University. She has been Head of the Special Collections at Heidelberg University Library since 2019. Her main interests are German manuscripts and the history of the Bibliotheca Palatina.
