This list, availble in .xlsx and .csv formats, provides the locations and shelfmarks of seventy-two manuscripts that contain a version of the Biblia pauperum, along with information regarding digital reproductions that are available online. It also provides links to the descriptions of the individual manuscripts in the Deutschsprachige illustrierte Handschriften des Mittelalters (KdiH), Handschriftencensus, Handschriftenportal, and manuscripta.at databases. It was compiled as part of the research conducted by Malena Ratzke and Hanna Wimmer in the sub-project FNT08: Reframing Old Contents for New Readers in Late-Medieval German One-Volume Libraries at the Cluster of Excellence 2176: Understanding Written Artefacts: Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures.

The list contains all manuscripts that contain a version of the Biblia pauperum with texts written in German or in German and Latin listed in the KdiH, and many more manuscripts containing Bibliae pauperum written in Latin. Block-book and incunable editions are omitted, with the exception of some books that contain hand-written texts alongside printed elements, such as the only existing chiroxylographic Biblia pauperum Heidelberg, Universitätsbibliothek, Cod. Pal. germ. 438.

The research in the context of which this list was compiled was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany's Excellence Strategy – EXC 2176 'Understanding Written Artefacts: Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures', project no. 390893796. The research was conducted within the scope of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) at Universität Hamburg.
