Revealing the sermon: transcription and construction of a database of sixteenth-century father confessor sermons

This research project wants to open up the sixteenth-century collections of father confessor sermons. This aim will be achieved by printing or scanning ready existing microfilms of sermon manuscripts and by transcribing a relevant corpus of sermons. The specific details on sermons, on the collections in which these sermons are preserved, and on the preachers and sister scribes will be put in a database, which - later on - can be connected to already existing databases.
