Find of the month

Nativity scene in 12th century book illumination

We are taking the Advent season as an opportunity to draw attention to a depiction of the nativity scene that can be found in one of the illuminated manuscripts kept in the HLSB. The manuscript consists of around 300 pages.

According to current research, the parchment codex known as the Kollektar (100 Aa 35) was written in the Benedictine Abbey of Weingarten in what is now Baden-Württemberg in the first third of the 12th century. The name Kollektar refers to the fact that various liturgical texts required for the celebration of mass were collected in the manuscripts.

The illustration inserted in online image no. 114 (fol. 54v) shows the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The stable with ox and donkey is depicted in the upper section. In front of it, Jesus lies in the manger, his head framed by a nimbus with a cross. The upper section of the depiction is completed with Joseph and Mary. In the lower section, a total of five angels are depicted announcing the birth of Jesus to two shepherds and their animals. Both scenes are framed by a common flower and vine motif.

The entire manuscripts can be viewed in full on our digitisation portal "FulDig". Further information on the manuscript can also be found in the catalogue of theological manuscripts in the HLSB, which is also available on "FulDig".

Reading aloud during the pre-Christmas rush

Advent is a beautiful and contemplative, but often hectic time. Would you still like to offer your children a relaxed reading experience? Then our Sami reading bear is an excellent choice. He reads stories to your children! The reading bear recognises which page your child has opened in the Sami books and reads from it page by page.

Research-related service of the month

Forschungsdaten.Info

Forschungsdaten.Info is the central German-language information portal on the topic of research data management (RDM). The platform offers a comprehensive introduction to the basics, practical issues and current developments and is aimed at both beginners and researchers who already have experience with RDM.
The website combines contributions related to practice with subject-specific materials and thus provides a structured overview of all relevant aspects of research data management. In addition to general introductory texts, it also contains information on developments in German-speaking countries, on activities of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and helpful practical tips for everyday research.

The portal is supervised editorially by a supra-regional team of experienced RDM specialists. We particularly recommend the RDM introductory materials, which clearly explain basic concepts and are ideal for getting started. Anyone interested in handling research data in a specific subject will find subject-related tutorials, courses and instructions under the scientific fields and topic pages.
Forschungsdaten.Info also offers an overview of useful RDM tools, including tools such as RDMO, which support the planning and documentation of data management.
The platform is worth a look for anyone who wants to professionalise their research practice and keep an eye on current developments in research data management.
