Description

English summary: In poetry, panels, miniatures, "Minnekaestchen" (ornate boxes given to the bride in Medieval times), and tapestries, the topic of hunting has been featured extensively. Among Medieval manuscripts, the Falconry Book of Emperor Frederick II occupies a prominent position. One reason for this is the assumption that the regent penned the book himself between 1241 and 1248. Besides the history of this manuscript itself, whose oldest preserved version is kept at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rome, other articles deal with, e.g., the world of the Medieval scriptorium. It has been shown that writing and materials carrying writing have been among the most important parts of society ever since the first highly advanced civilisations- but which materials were actually being used in Medieval EuropeA guidebook on falconry, i.e. hunting with birds, that is still up-to-date today. This volume accompanying the state exhibition "Emperor Frederick II (11941250)- World and Civilisations of the Mediterranean" introduces Medieval manuscripts, the bird fauna of Mediterranean Italy, and the writing process of the falconry handbook itself. German description: In Lyrik, auf Tafelbildern, Miniaturen, Minnekastchen und Wandteppichen ist das Motiv der Jagd vielfach aufgegriffen worden. Unter den Handschriften des Mittelalters nimmt das Falkenbuch Kaiser Friedrichs II. eine herausragende Stellung ein. Das ist nicht zuletzt auf die Annahme zuruckzufuhren, der Regent selbst habe das Buch zwischen 1241 und 1248 verfasst. Neben der Entstehungsgeschichte dieses Buches, dessen alteste erhaltene Version sich in der Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rom befindet, beschaftigt sich z.B. ein Beitrag mit der Welt des mittelalterlichen Skriptoriums
