This overview provides a set of sources and links for each manuscript witness of Mary Magdalene’s conversion legend in both the Latin and in the vernacular tradition. The shorthand label for each witness is followed by the name of the holding institution, along with the shelfmark of the manuscript.
The shelfmark is linked to the online catalog entry on the website of the holding institution, if available. For the vernacular manuscripts, a link to the additional record on the Handschriftencensus, a database of medieval German manuscripts, appears underneath.
The date, place of origin, language and printed sources referring the to the respective manuscript are listed below the heading for each witness. If scans of the printed sources are available online, these are linked to the bibliographic references. Finally, since all witnesses of the conversion legend are transmitted in composite manuscripts, a list of contents concludes each entry.
Latin A contains the oldest witness of the legend, which reappears in Latin B in a slightly altered version. In turn, version B became the template for Latin C, which displays significant abridgements but also additions, including a commentary on the legend that is uniquely transmitted in the Copenhagen manuscript. The vernacular tradition derives from Latin A or B and originated in the Lower Rhine region. The interrelationships between the vernacular witnesses are still unclear and require further research.
