Ukraine’s Culture Minister says Russia is destroying cultural sites

“The ministry said in the city of Kharkiv, Russian forces shelled the Assumption Cathedral; parts of the Kharkiv National University of Arts; and dormitories of the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture. People had used the cathedral to seek refuge from the violence, the ministry said.

16950 – the great illuminated Seligenthal Graduale (OCist nuns) saec. XIII

11430 – the most important London MS. for the tradition of German religious women texts (saec. XVIII), only known copy of the letters of Heinrich von Nördlingen

15686 – this MS., illuminated by Sibilla von Bondorff (saec. XV), should be online like MS. Add. MS 15710 from the same book painter.

25089 – nice illuminated MS. (saec. XV), possibly the only known of a sister of a Nuremberg “Seelhaus”, see https://archivalia.hypotheses.org/140201

18311 – MS. with the provenance Dillingen dominican nuns (saec. XVI), see https://archivalia.hypotheses.org/140191

15102 – works of Hildegard von Bingen

Update 2023/03/28

According to
