Its vaults accommodate some of the most precious and world-famous works of mankind’s written cultural heritage. The app "Famous Books. Treasures of the Bavarian State Library” presents an exquisite selection of these holdings: 52 splendid manuscripts, unique incunabula and rare, precious printed works from the Occident and the Orient Only very rarely can the public view the physical manifestations of these treasures in exhibitions. The brilliant, complete digital copies of the exhibits - formatted for presentation on iPad and iPhone - provide a fascinating insight into the treasures held by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. Users can browse through and freely zoom into the manuscripts and printed works from the first to the last page. Among the exhibits are, for example, the manuscript A of the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), the eight volumes of the Ottheinrich Bible, an edition of each the Gutenberg Bible and the World Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, the Babylonian Talmud and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s epic poem Parzival. ## Famous Books Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/ba/e3/aa/bae3aa5d-f8f6-d4cf-6aa4-b8fdc439227b/mzl.djezixky.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/0e/f5/09/0ef5097a-48f2-251a-e7b9-b19b1ec3245c/mzl.falhalwd.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/ba/13/34/ba133402-cc3a-d8a0-55e6-4fa156788912/mzl.butguris.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/52/32/e4/5232e41c-be74-33e2-595a-416820f089c4/mzl.obrficnz.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/bf/df/bb/bfdfbbd4-927a-65a1-059b-5450a4d6cff5/mzl.knrkfxfe.png/640x960.png) ## Famous Books Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 26 (87%) - 4 stars: 2 (7%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 1 (3%) - 1 stars: 1 (3%) ## Famous Books Reviews in United States ### ***** "A glimpse into history" This app provides access to beautiful manuscripts I wouldn't ever get to see otherwise, and in a very user-friendly interface, and I love how you can zoom in so close. I just wish there were more apps like this one! Now if only I could actually read any of these languages... :) -- Somanycats87, 2014-03-31 ### *---- "The book of junk" Really bad -- Lcpl awsome, 2013-12-14 ### ****- "Awesome app" Love browsing through this app it gives me inspiration every day! Sometimes I find that it takes a while to load images but other than that, great app! -- Ramon carlo, 2013-03-27 ### ***** "Incredible!!" If ever an app deserved its 5 stars, it's this one. While other similar apps charge much more for a few selected images of highlights in their collection, this app opens a generous portion of their collection to your own self-guided, hi-resolution tour. And what really sets this app apart is that you don't get to see just a couple of selected pages, you have access to the entire book, just as if you were actually in the library, looking at the artifact in person. Actually, you have better access to these treasures with this app than you would in person. Want to see and read an original Gutenberg Bible? Here it is, every chapter and verse of the original. This app offers a glimpse at the kind of visionary research tool the internet could-and should-be. Absolutely outstanding app. -- Tigonie, 2013-03-17 ### ***** "Amazing!" This app is fantastic :) The images are lovely and the text is beautiful! I recommend this app for anyone who loves old texts and beautiful images! -- Willowwomp, 2012-12-09 ### ***** "Beautiful!!!!" Absolutely gorgeous -- SarahS504, 2012-09-06 ### ***** "Incredible app for anyone who loves manuscripts" Amazing!!!!!! I wish every major library would do something like this. So wonderful too see these manuscripts in such high quality digital images... on one's phone! Highly recommended! Thanks to the BSB for this fantastic app! -- Amica librorum, 2012-09-01 ### ***** "Thank You" Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into this. It's wonderful. -- Byte-Me, 2012-07-14 ### ***** "Gorgeous materials!" As someone with a great interest in Medieval literature, this collection is a wonderful treat. You have access to beautifully-rendered scans of every single page of many extremely old, delicate works that you would otherwise never even have a chance to see. I'm very impressed, and I hope that more rare book collections like this one become available in the future. It's any scholar's dream! -- Lara Rebooted, 2012-06-02 ### ***** "Knowledgable" Not a better way to have medieval manuscript in the palm of your hands! -- fltrwego, 2012-01-24 [View all Famous Books reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Famous Books Discovered Keywords -
