German Inscriptions from the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period
Inscriptions are texts marked on “durable” materials such as stone, wood, metal, textile and glass. They often provide a better record of historical events and figures than other written sources. The project makes inscriptions from Bavaria dating from the Middle Ages and the early modern period accessible in a single edition. The work involves transcribing often only partially legible texts as well as translation, object description, historical classification and commentary.
