Description

Funeral sermons are personal writings that were produced for special occasions such as birthdays, baptisms and deaths and were sometimes sold in bookshops. From 1976 to 2018, these writings were scientifically processed at the Research Center for Personal Writings at the Philipps University of Marburg and the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz, and made accessible in databases and publications.

The documentation “Leichenpredigten : Aufbau und Kodierung” was created as part of the Aedit project and is now being expanded and further developed in an independent development project
