This is for all you non-German speakers out there.\u00a0 Yes, it is indeed possible to download a PDF of manuscripts at the ONB in Vienna!<\/p>\n

All the fully-digitised manuscripts for the \u00d6sterreichische Nationalbibliothek are listed on a page here: https:\/\/manuscripta.at\/lib_digi.php?libcode=AT8500.\u00a0 (The link doesn’t look very permanent, so you might have to search at manuscripta.at).\u00a0 [Update: drill down from https:\/\/manuscripta.at\/digitalisate.php]<\/p>\n

But it is very useful to have them all on one page!\u00a0 Ctrl-F to find the manuscript you want by number.<\/p>\n

Here’s a screen-grab of the top of the page:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on the manuscript you want.\u00a0 I’ve highlighted ONB 6.\u00a0 Here’s the next page:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What you want is the “Volldigitalisat” – “Fully digitised”.\u00a0 Click on the “Quicksearch” link:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to use Chrome’s automatic translate facility to work out which, if any of this, was relevant.\u00a0 It’s “Online-Zugriff”.\u00a0 Click there.\u00a0 That will take you down the page, to somewhere seemingly random:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clicking on “Digitales Objeckt” will, at last, take you to the online manuscript.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right-click on the image, and the menu above will appear.\u00a0 This contains the exciting words “Objekt herunterladen” – “Download Object”.\u00a0 If you click on this, you will be prompted to download a PDF of the “Gesamtes Objekt” – the whole thing.<\/p>\n

Marvellous!\u00a0 Well done the ONB.\u00a0 Now I can mark up the PDF and do some work on the manuscript.<\/p>\n

Update, 11 March 2023: the website has now changed, and none of this now works.\u00a0 There is a download link on the manuscript itself, but this does not seem to work.\u00a0 If anybody knows where they have hidden the link, please add a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
