The Denig Manuscript

The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media partnered with the Winterthur Museum to create a multimedia digital project that brings to life the manuscript of Ludwig Denig. Written in the 1780’s, the leather-bound manuscript was frail and brittle. In an effort not only to preserve the manuscript but also expose its unique content to a wider audience, the illuminated manuscript was created. Through this project, viewers can explore the watercolor paintings, devotional texts, and hymns.
