Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg
Vogeler and Andreas Zajic have decided after a peer-reviewing-process
and internal discussions to publish first results of the FWF project
Illuminated Charters as ´Gesamtkunstwerk´.

678 illuminated collective indulgences are freely accessible for everyone.
We are well aware that we can only present work in progress. This is
true for the digital part as well as for the content. Part of the
indexing work has still to be implemented into the search environment
and depth of information varies significantly.
Partly this is a deliberate decision, because it does not make sense to
offer extensive abstracts for poorly decorated objects which are only
of importance due to their character as forerunners to later, more
extensively illuminated indulgences. On the other hand there are
charters which deserve more in-depth treatment, but parts of
the description ([extensive] abstract, diplomatic comment, description
of decoration and art-historical commentary) are still lacking.
We hope, however, that users are willing to accept such shortcomings in
order to get access more quickly. We want to encourage each and every
user to give us feedback ( illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com

illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com) such as additions, corrections
(including typos), hints to additional sources, images or reference
literature; do not hesitate to point out amendments no matter how small.
