Schottenstift. Bibliothek: HMML Repository
Schottenstift. Bibliothek
The Schottenstift, in the heart of Vienna, was founded in 1155 by Irish and Scottish monks to assist Irish pilgrims traveling to and from the Holy Land. The Irish withdrew in 1418, taking most of their characteristic manuscripts with them. Benedictines from Melk took over the monastery in the 15th c., and its present collection of 750 codices, 458 of which were filmed for HMML, contains manuscripts from the 12th to the 18th c., but chiefly from the 14th and 15th c.
