MARABU

MAnnheimer Reihe Altes BUch
(formerly called Editio Theodoro-Palatina)

Publishing History of our Editions (Last Update: 22. September 2000)

Early in 1996 Mannheim University Library began to scan selected pages from rare books and manuscripts for publication in MATEO. The initial idea was to establish a show-window of the library's rare book department. We then discovered that many important, beautiful or curious works held by this library are not yet available in reprint. We therefore started supplying integral reprints of rare books on-line. In some cases, this seems to have multiplied the effect of a paper reprint. Breaking down a book into image files of individual pages and indexing these for online retrieval paves the way for countless hyperlinks connecting e.g. a portrait with a biographical article or one version of an emblem (or a fable) with another.

So far, the emphasis of the MARABU series is on illustrated books containing portraits, emblems, fables and maps, on writings of and about women humanists and on sources of the history of the Palatinate. The digital facsimile color reprints are accompanied by an introduction and a table of contents. These are designed to serve a wide public.

All MARABU titles are also available off-line. We produce and sell copies of the master-CDs containing the original tiff files as well as the jpeg or gif files used in web presentation. For more information see DISCOTHECA RARA.
