The Charters of Henry VI
Edited by Bettina Pferschy-Maleczek, based on preliminary work by Heinrich Appelt (†).
1. The charters of Henry VI for German recipients
Edited by Bettina Pferschy-Maleczek
Prior to the publication of the complete printed edition, a digital pre-print edition is available online. The pre-print edition comprises the texts of the 204 charters of Henry VI for recipients in the present-day countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (not exactly following the modern political boudaries) with the complete preliminary remarks and criticial apparatus in citable form.
The abbreviations and editorial form are largely the same as those used for the editions of the charters of Frederick I in the MGH Diplomata. Since as of yet no final numbers have been allocated, the charters are numbered according to Regesta Imperii 4/3 by Gerhard Baaken. The layout is provisional and does not yet correspond to that of the final printed edtion.
The edition is a reworking of the manuscript left behind by Heinrich Appelt on his death in 1998. In 1904, the edition project was entrusted to the MGH Diplomata section working at the Austrian Institut für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung in Vienna. The list of scholars who have contributed to the edition of the charters of Henry VI over the years include: Peter Csendes, Rainer Egger, Gisela Egger(-Lüpke), Thomas Ertl, Helmuth Feigl, Susanne Fritsch-Rübsamen, Christine Gigler, Friedrich Hausmann, Friedrich Henning, Paul Herold, Günter Katzler, Brigitte Meduna, Christine Ottner, Elisabeth Reiner-Mégier, Erich Reiter, Andrea Rzihacek-Bedö, Andrea Scheichl, Renate Spreitzer, Thomas Stockinger and Anton Julius Walter.
The preparation of the electronic text edition was supervised by Günter Katzler and employed the Classical Text Editor (CTE) developed by Stefan Hagel. Please do not hesitate to send us your corrections or helpful suggestions!
