The core funding will support already ongoing research regarding RDS. RDS are anonymous works that circulated mainly in manuscripts from the 17th to the 19th century. In recent years, in cooperation with Dr Vladimir Neumann of the Berlin State Library, I have been able to develop a database of RDS, where around 870 RDS with comprehensive bibliographical and other data have already been registered. Initially, the aim is to complete this database over the next years. In addition, editions of two smaller RDS collections with a Serbian background will be prepared (Bibliothèque nationale de France, code slave 52 and Czech National Library Prague ms. IX F 33). Both the database and also the two manuscripts are meant to be published in book form (in the Monumenta Linguae Slavicae series).
