Abstrakt

When it comes to the publication of an edition, in times of the digital turn, with all its changes also for scientific practice, there is always the fundamental question whether to aim at a printed publication or a digital one. Not least, a digital provision on the internet makes it more easily traceable as well as applicable so that it can have a more wide-spread impact than a printed publication.
By using the “Libri censuales” of Freising from the Bavarian State Archive in Munich (BayHStA HL Freising 6) as an example, this essay aims at showing that while modern possibilities of text exploitation can complement traditional knowledge and skills, they cannot replace them. In the case of the Freising manuscripts it was decided from the start that it would be a digital edition in combination with digitization and online provision of the manuscripts. Here the expertise of the Bavarian State Library in Munich (BSB) with their Munich Digitization Center (MDZ) was offered together with the Bavarica Department as a partner.
