Databáze rukopisů a kodikologické literatury

This paper presents the database of manuscripts and bibliography of codicological literature, which has been developed by the Department for the Cataloguing and Study of Manuscript at the CAS Masaryk Institute and Archive. The database facilitates the cataloguing of new manuscripts and the inclusion of data from printed catalogues and records of retrospective and recent bibliography as well as updating existing descriptions. It comprises three interconnected sections: the database of manuscripts, the database of codicological literature and most recently the database of institutions and fonds, including current information on institutions owning and administering historical fonds and manuscript collections.
