Europeana Regia: a digital collaborative library of royal manuscripts in Medieval and Renaissance Europe

Project description


Digital Libraries: European Digital Library Digitising content for Europeana

Europeana Regia is a collaborative project, which aims to create a European corpus of digitised mostly illuminated manuscripts, testimonies of the circulation of texts and art in Europe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a focus on the beginning of European culture in the Carolingian time.It concerns three most important sets of mediaeval and Renaissance manuscripts :-\tmanuscripts from the times of Charles the Great and his successors (780-900 ca), copied and often illuminated in monasteries straightly linked with royal or imperial power-\tthe manuscripts from the library of king Charles V of France (r. 1364-1380), which were mainly kept in the Librairie du Louvre-\tthe collection of Aragon kings of Naples, now separated between four main depositories in France, Italy, Spain and Great Britain – without any doubt one of the most precious libraries from the end of the 15th century.
It will represents a total of 670 manuscripts, more than 240 000 images.
It associates several important public, university and national libraries, holding a specific part of the European cultural heritage
For the first time, Europeana Regia will thus make accessible a significant part of these most precious testimonies of our cultural heritage accessible for European citizens through Europeana.
