Digitale Edition und Kommentierung der Tagebücher des Fürsten Christian II. von Anhalt-Bernburg (1599–1656)

Abstract

This review examines the Digital Edition of the Diaries of Prince Christian II. von Anhalt-Bernburg, implemented by the University of Freiburg and the Herzog August Bibliothek. The research project, which has been running since 2013 and has not yet been completed, aims to present the entire diary (diplomatic transcription and facsimiles) of the prince which comprises a total of approximately 17,400 pages. In its digital approach, the project offers a sound-text-presentation that far surpasses that of the print medium (e.g., enrichment with norm data, visualizations, provision of Linked Open Data), but the lack of technical documentation makes it difficult to trace the workflow, archiving, or even subsequent use of the data.
