The Bamberg State Library ((ドイツ語:Staatsbibliothek Bamberg)) is a combined universal, regional and research library with priority given to the humanities. Today it is housed in the New Residence, the former prince-bishop's new palace. The Free State of Bavaria is responsible for the library. == Overview == The Bamberg State Library supplies the town of Bamberg and the region Upper Franconia with literature for research and higher education purposes, professional work and advanced training. The historically grown holdings of more than 500,000 volumes are continuously supplemented and enlarged by acquisitions in all general fields, and in specialized areas such as the history and geography of (Upper) Franconia, art history and appreciation, manuscripts and the printed book. It cooperates in all areas of librarianship with the University Library of Bamberg. One of its regional tasks is to acquire documentary material on and of persons who are connected with the region. More over it gets the legal deposit for the region of Upper Franconia; that means the Bamberg State Library receives a copy of every book published in Upper Franconia and continues to compile a complete bibliography of the region. It also provides space for book collections belonging to Bamberg institutions such as the Bamberg Historical Society ((ドイツ語:Historischer Verein Bamberg)), the Bamberg Society of Naturalists ((ドイツ語:Naturforschende Gesellschaft Bamberg)), the Bamberg Art Association ((ドイツ語:Kunstverein Bamberg)) the E.-T.-A.-Hoffmann-Gesellschaft and the Bamberg group of the Frankenbund. Its high esteem to be a research library of international rank is based on its rich manuscripts holdings. This collection may be traced back to the emperor Henry II, who founded the bishopric of Bamberg on November 1, 1007. Three of these manuscripts became part of UNESCO's Memory of the World: * the Bamberg Apocalypse ((ドイツ語:Bamberger Apokalypse); Msc.Bibl.140), * the Commentary on the Song of Songs, on the Book of Proverbs and on the Book of Daniel ((ドイツ語:Kommentar zum Hohen Lied, zu den Sprüchen Salomos und zum Buch Daniel); Msc.Bibl.22), and * the Lorsch Pharmacopoeia ((ドイツ語:Lorscher Arzneibuch); Msc.Med.1). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bamberg State Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
