Dear Editha Jacobs,

manuscripts from the University-Library Mannheim

The Johannes a Lasco Bibliothek Emden publishes digital facsimiles of the
library of the humanist Albert Ritzaneus Hardenberg (1510-1574)
http://www.jalb.de:8087/servlet/digbib-jalb?template=browse_title_by_author.html&verity-search=yes&verity-search-string=(L_AUTHOR%20%3CSTARTS%3E%20A)&bib-category=Alter

The University of Illinois is providing digital facsimiles of German

Dear Editha Jacobs,

there is a database on historical postcards and bookillustrations, Pictura
Paedagogica Online (http://www.bbf.dipf.de/virtuellesbildarchiv/index.htm).
At the moment the oldest entry dates from 1495 and most of the books were
published in Germany.
Unfortunately the menu is still just in German. But if you try the search
via time ("Zeitraeume") you can choose a decade you are interested in.
Another possibility is to look directly for books ("Buecher"). If you need
any help with the research don't hesitate to ask.

Best wishes,

Stefanie Kollmann
