Blockbücher der Universitätsbibliothek München ediert

Sämtliche Blockbücher der Universitätsbibliothek München sind in einer Farbmikrofiche-Edition erschienen. Mit neun Titeln in elf überwiegend kolorierten Ausgaben handelt es sich nach der Sammlung der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek und dem Kupferstichkabinett Berlin um eine der größten in Deutschland, die nunmehr in Abbildung und Beschreibung präsentiert wird. Wie der übrige Altbestand der ältesten staatlichen Bibliothek in Bayern stammen die 11 Exemplare aus der Vorgängeruniversität Ingolstadt bzw. dem dortigen Jesuitenkolleg sowie aus säkularisierten bayerischen Klöstern. Nur eines dieser Stücke, die Apokalypse, war bisher wenigstens in einem Schwarzweiß-Faksimile publiziert worden, neun weitere sind immerhin in der Literatur bereits des öfteren zitiert; der deutsche Kalender des Regiomontanus allerdings ist bis dato fast unbemerkt geblieben. Die Edition der drei deutschsprachigen und 8 lateinischen Xylographa mit ausführlichen Beschreibungen bringt für Studium und Forschung einen leichteren Zugang bei möglichster Schonung der empfindlichen Originale:

Bibel der Armen – Speculum humanae salvationis – Canticum canticorum – Ars memorandi – Defensorium virginitatis Mariae – Apocalypsis – Der Endkrist und die fünfzehn Zeichen – Ars moriendi – Regiomontanus: Deutscher Kalender für 1475 bis 1530 : Farbmikrofiche-Edition der Blockbücher der Universitätsbibliothek München / historische Einf. von Wolfgang Müller. Katalogbeschreibungen und Verzeichnisse der Tafeln von Helga Lengenfelder. – München: Ed. Lengenfelder, 2004. – 96 S. Text, 8 Mikrofiches. Ln. - (Monumenta xylographica et typographica ; 5). – ISBN 3-89219-405-X. – 260,-- Euro.
