Data

The project has developed two datasets, which form the basis of the project’s research questions and analysis (see Output section). These datasets have been curated from the existing catalogues of the collection: the electronic registration of the printed works (kindly provided by the University Library of Southern Denmark) and the published catalogue of manuscripts (Riising, Anne. Katalog Over Karen Brahes Bibliothek i Landsarkivet for Fyn: Håndskriftsamlingen. København: Munksgaard, 1956).

Please follow the links below to access the printed works dataset and the manuscript works dataset.
