Here you can find the descriptions of the German Palatine manuscripts (Cod. Pal. germ. 496-670) as published in the manuscripts catalog "Die Codices Palatini germanici in der Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg (Cod. Pal. germ. 496-670)", edited by Pamela Kalning, Matthias Miller and Karin Zimmermann with the assistance of Lennart Güntzel, Wiesbaden 2014 (Kataloge der Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg 11). The description for each manuscript was subsequently recorded as TEI-XML file by XML encoding in accordance with TEI-P5 using GND standard vocabulary. These TEI files follow an outdated TEI schema originally developed at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel and contain some ad hoc solutions which were chosen pragmatically in Heidelberg and which do not always comply with the TEI Guidelines. A future migration of the dataset into a fully TEI-compliant format is considered as desirable.
