Stift Vorau. Bibliothek: HMML Repository

Stift Vorau. Bibliothek

Founded in 1163 by Margrave Ottokar III, this monastery of Augustinian Canons Regular is located in Styria, fifty miles northeast of Graz. A noted scriptorium flourished at Vorau throughout the Middle Ages, and despite its capture during World War II, the monastery has retained its manuscript collection. Of its more than 400 codices, 364 (dating from the 11th to 18th c.) were photographed. Among these is Codex 276, an important collection of literary texts in Early Middle High German.
