Lorsch Manuscripts Worldwide

The Lorsch manuscripts of the former monastic library and scriptorium are today scattered all over the world. However, palaeographic research, and in particular the Carolingian inventories have enabled us to localize 330 original Lorsch manuscripts and fragments in 68 libraries around the world, and to once again unite them virtually.

Manuscripts, which according to Bernhard Bischoff and/or Hartmut Hoffmann are not connected with Lorsch (see Project Description), are documented in a separate list.
