Project e-codices (a Swiss virtual manuscript library)[1][better source needed] was founded at the University of Fribourg in Üechtland and offers medieval manuscripts from various local collections for free viewing on its website. Among its holdings are a four part manuscript that includes a translation of parts of the Talmud into Latin.
Codices is the plural of codex.[2] The aim of e-codices is to make Switzerland's medieval manuscripts accessible through a virtual library. The integral digital reproductions of the manuscripts are linked to scientific descriptions. The offer is aimed at handwriting-oriented research, but also at interested laymen. The current range of digitized manuscripts consists among other things of the results of these subprojects:
It emerged from a pilot project for the digitization of some medieval manuscripts of the Abbey library of Saint Gall, and it was initiatedand initially led by Christoph Flüeler.[3] Since 2007, manuscripts of the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana in Cologny have been digitally indexed by e-codices. Digitization is made possible by the generous support of Loterie Romande. Through the cooperation with e-lib.ch: Electronic Library Switzerland, by 2011 e-codices digitized 100 additional manuscripts held by various Swiss libraries. As of 2013, 981 manuscripts from 42 different libraries were available. The digitization of 355 manuscripts from before the year 1000 held at the Abbey Library of St. Gall was financed by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
In the subproject "Greek Sources in Swiss Libraries", 40 manuscripts from various Swiss libraries, including the Abbey Library of St. Gallen, the Abbey Library of Einsiedeln, the Bibliothèque de Genève, the Fondation Martin Bodmer in Cologny and the Burgerbibliothek Bern, were digitized through financing by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
