Sažetak
The aim of this research is to establish the presence of the works of Matthias Flacius Illyricus are included in digital libraries and collections available online: not only in general libraries, such as Google Books and Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum (MDZ) at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB), but also in specialized ones, for instance for Latin, such as professional philological digital libraries like the Philological Museum. The research includes search procedures, processing and verification of digitized Flacius’ titles in these digital libraries. Due to a large number of digitized works from Flacius’ opus, such as the 608 results shown in Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum (MDZ) accessed on 8 May 2014, the research is limited to a five-year period from 1548 to 1552.
Data on the title pages or in the colophons of studied examples confirm that, during the period under study, Flacius’ works were printed in major Protestant printing centres: Basel, Frankfurt, Magdeburg and Wittenberg. The most frequently mentioned publishers were Christian Rödinger and Michael Lotther from Magdeburg. In many cases the year of publication was cited in the colophon, as many as 22 times, on the title page 18, on the title page and in the colophon 8 times and in the explicit once. However, the year of publication has not been found for 17 titles, in which case it was recorded according to the bibliographical data in a digital library or in Preger’s bibliography »Verzeichniß der gedruckten Schriften des Flacius« (1861).
Based on seals printed in the works, the most frequent seal being that of the Bavarian State Library, one can establish ownership of digital copies and, in some cases, the history of possession of different libraries.
The largest number of works, 55 of them, was found in the Google Books digital library, while 30 of them were found in the Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum (MDZ) in Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB), and only three in the Philological Museum, with links to Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum (MDZ) and Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (ULB) Sachsen-Anhalt.
The final research result was translated into a detailed list of traced works, after which a comparison with Preger’s bibliography from 1861 consisting of 105 works from the observed period confirmed that 62 of them were found in digital libraries.
It should be noted that also traced are the four works which are not to be found in Preger’s bibliography:
1. Bulla Antichristi de retrahendo populo Dei in ferream Aegiptiacae servitutis fornacem, Maguntini Rabsaces blasphemis literis consona, ex qua facile animadverti potest, quid Satan per utranque suam virtutem, scilicet, per parricidiale bellum contra Ecclesiam Dei susceptum, et per mendacia Concilium, Interim, Adiaphora et Chorrock efficere conetur. (1549);
2. Cleri fletus. Est deploratio perditae maliciae Clericorum seu Spiritualium Antichristi, olim ante annos 100, vel amplius ab aliquo pio, templi Domini repurgati[o]nem videre cupiente, conscripta. (Magdeburg: Michael Lotther, 1550);
3. Contra commentitium primatum Papae. Authore Matth. Flac. Illyr. (Magdeburg: Michael Lotther, 1551);
4. Responsio Matth. Fla. Illyr. ad quasdam criminationes Pomerani [1551].
By comparing Preger’s bibliography with Olson’s “Flacius’ Printed Works” (2011), it has been established that neither of the Flacius’ digitized works, Contra commentitium primatum Papae (1551) nor Responsio Matth. Fla. Illyr. ad quasdam criminationes Pomerani [1551] have been included in the mentioned bibliographies.
