A List of Manuscripts Offered for Sale by Jacques Rosenthal in Bibliotheca medii aevi manuscripta (Munich, 1925 and 1928)

The following appendix describes the 200 manuscripts Jacques Rosenthal offered for sale in his two-volume catalogue Bibliotheca medii aevi manuscripta (BMAM) published in 1925 and 1928. It presents data extracted from BMAM and archives I analysed in my publications investigating Rosenthal’s working methods and the criteria he used to assign a financial value to the manuscripts. Its aim is therefore not to provide detailed descriptions of the manuscripts but to gather information provided by BMAM, even though it has been since revised and could be completed by additional research, and archival sources. For my publications, see Angéline Rais, ‘Jacques Rosenthal’s Marketing Strategies: An Analysis of Bibliotheca medii aevi manuscripta (1925 and 1928)’ in The Pre-Modern Manuscript Trade and its Consequences, ca. 1890–1945, ed. by Laura Cleaver, Danielle Magnusson, Hannah Morcos, and Angéline Rais (York: ARC Humanities Press, forthcoming 2024); Angéline Rais, ‘Valuing Rare Books in 1920s Germany: Prices in Jacques Rosenthal’s Bibliotheca medii aevi manuscripta’, in The Economics of the Rare Book and Manuscript Trade, ca. 1890–1939, ed. by Federico Botana and Laura Cleaver (York: ARC Humanities Press, forthcoming 2024).
