The 977 manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Amploniana will be digitalised in two funding phases by the Erfurt University Library and made accessible in the Digitale Historische Bibliothek Erfurt/Gotha (Digital Historical Library Erfurt/Gotha) developed by the Thuringian University and State Library (ThULB) Jena.
In the first project phase, 118 medical manuscripts will be scientifically indexed (so-called in-depth indexing). In the second project phase, 14 more medical and 60 theological manuscripts will be added. The cataloguing work will be carried out in accordance with DFG guidelines under the direction of the Leipzig Manuscript Centre and distributed between Erfurt and Leipzig. The results of the in-depth cataloguing will be continuously made available to researchers via the Handschriftenportal (manuscript portal).
