Gletscherschlucht (Glacier Gorge) – at the village end of Grindelwald lies the wildly romantic, thunderous glacier gorge with its glacial mills and striations as well as the pink and green marble blocks, through which a path leads over man-made footbridges and through rock galleries and tunnels. First (2168 m) – over 100 km of hiking trails as well as 50 km of ski pistes and a toboggan run can be found on the south-facing, not overly steep First slope. Männlichen (2229 m) – gentle walking and winter sports terrain with a link to the nearby Kleine Scheidegg and with the perfect panorama across the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Pfingstegg – at 1391m is the lookout post of Grindelwald and offers a unique vista across the valley floor. Saturday, May 19th Travel to Ascona For book lovers, Foundation Bodmer, one of the best collection of autographs bibliophiliacs haven in beautiful romantic Cologny of the Shelley house hold; http://www.fondationbodmer.organd then departure by train for Ascona and the Monte Vérita. May 19th-May 24th, Monte Verità, Ticini, Locarno, and the Swiss Alps Monte Verita (the Mountain of Truth) attracted those concerned with 'life', with what it is to be human; they congregated to experience nature, the spiritual, and in some cases the feminine. Key figures included Gusto Gräser, Naturmensch, poet, Taoist and rebel; Otto Gross, intent on fighting 'the Goliath of German patriarchy', applying psychoanalysis to obtain liberation from the ego and seeking the sacredness of love; Rudolf Laban, the 'magician' of 'salvation-through- dance'; and Mary Wigman, who expressed herself through nature, the great god Pan and the demonic. Hermann Hesse, D.H. Lawrence, Isadora Duncan, C.G.Jung, Franz Kafka, Paul Tillich and Max Weber were among those who visited - or were familiar with - the 'life-experiments', die Neue Zeit, of Ascona. May 24th, students depart to travel, or head back home! .

  • Swiss Re Sponsors Bodmer World Literature Collection Exhibit
    Swiss Re sponsors Bodmer world literature collection exhibit 1 Feb 2001 For the first -- and only -- time a representative selection of highlights of Martin Bodmer's famous collection of world literature will be shown outside its ancestral home at Cologny, Switzerland. After appearing in Switzerland and Germany, the exhibition comes to the Grolier Club of New York, the show's only American venue, from February 21 through April 28. Aptly titled "A Mirror of the World,'' this exhibition of the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana has been organized in conjunction with the Department of the President of the City of Zürich and the German Literature Archive in Marbach, and curated by Professor Martin Bircher of the Martin Bodmer Foundation. Financial support of the exhibit is being provided by Swiss Re, one of the world's leading reinsurance companies, which is based in Zürich, but has more than 70 offices around the globe, including significant operations in New York. "The Bodmer collection is a treasure, unique in its scope, ageless in its appeal, and borderless in its contents," said Andreas Beerli, head of Swiss Re's Americas division and a member of the company's Executive Board. "As a global firm committed to sharing of information and knowledge, Swiss Re is pleased to sponsor the Bodmer collection tour." Extraordinary books and manuscripts will be on view including manuscript treasures, such as early handwritten texts of Homer, medieval illuminated books of the Bible, a 15th century version of the Nibelungenlied, a copy of the Japanese Tale of Genji illustrated with more than 250 miniatures, a manuscript of Grimm's Fairy Tales, an important set of corrected proofs for Proust's Du côté de chez Swann, and a selection of music manuscripts from the hands of Beethoven, Mozart and Scarlatti.

  • Created in 1971, the Foundation Is a Library and Museum Which Houses
    Created in 1971, the Foundation is a library and museum which houses and exhibits some of the greatest literary texts from around the world and throughout human history. This unique place bears witness to human thought, from the dawn of writing through to the modern day- which is why it is considered one of the most beautiful private collections in the world. The Martin Bodmer Foundation is home to around 150,000 documents in almost 120 different languages. There are hundreds of papyruses, medieval manuscripts from both east and west, thousands of signed pages and rare engravings. The collection includes one of only 48 copies of the Gutenberg Bible left in the world; the oldest complete version of one of the Gospels (Saint John); first editions by Shakespeare, Molière, Lope de Vega; Flavius Josephus’ manuscripts; Egyptian Books of the Dead; Luther’s theses; and documents signed by Mozart, Beethoven, Napoleon and Borges. Since 2015, the so-called “Biblioteca Bodmeriana” has been registered with the UNESCO Memory of the World programme, an initiative to protect the world’s documentary heritage. The main aim of the Foundation is to reflect “the adventure of the human spirit” by continuing the work of its creator, collector Martin Bodmer (1899-1971), who committed himself to setting up a “library of world literature” (Weltliteratur). The Foundation achieves this by inviting its visitors to a setting which defies comparison, overlooking Lake Geneva and the city of Geneva from the hillside of Cologny, and into its modern underground museum designed by the great Swiss architect, Mario Botta. On top of a permanent collection made up of veritable literary jewels that have left their mark on both literature and human history, the Martin Bodmer Foundation also organises temporary exhibitions on topics such as science, the arts, history and literature.

  • P. Bodmer XVII)
    THE ANCHOR BIBLE DICTIONARY (DOUBLEDAY 1992) VOLUME 1 766-767 BODMER PAPYRI. Ancient manuscripts named after Martin Bodmer (1899-1971), Swiss humanist and collector of rare books, who founded his “library of world literature.” the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, in Cologny near Geneva. Just prior to his death, Bodmer established the Foundation Martin Bodmer, in order to ensure that his library would remain intact and open to the public. 1. The Bodmer Papyri In its widest application the term includes not only ancient Greek and Coptic mss in the possession of the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana but also documents of shared provenience at other locations. More commonly, as here, Bodmer papyri refers to mss acquired by Martin Bodmer and in the process of being published in the series Papyrus Bodmer, launched in 1954. Not all of the Bodmer papyri are actual papyri, however (XVI, XIX, and XXII are parchment), nor do all derive from the discovery in 1952 (XVII). 2. The Discovery Though Panopolis (Achmim) was once thought to have been the place of discovery, it is now believed to have been somewhat farther S in the Panopolite nome, namely at Pabau (near Dishna), the ancient headquarters of the Pachomian order of monks. The bulk of the find was bought by Bodmer, but a variety of items came into the possession of Sir Chester Beatty (see CHESTER BEATTY PAPYRI), the Universities of Mississippi and Cologne, and the Fundacio “Sant Lluc Evangelista” in Barcelona. Bodmer's share numbered in excess of the sixteen codices and three rolls which have thus far been published (excluding P.

  • P.Bodmer Xlii: 2 Corinthians 10:15‑11:12 in Sahidic
    P.BODMER XLII: 2 CORINTHIANS 10:15‑11:12 IN SAHIDIC BY DANIEL B. SHARP P. Bodmer XLII (SMR-sa 473),1 currently owned by the Martin Bod‑ mer Foundation in Cologny, Switzerland, consists of five parchment frag‑ ments from 2 Corinthians. Rodolphe Kasser was originally tasked with publishing an edition of PB XLII, but his demanding schedule did not allow him to complete the assignment before his unfortunate passing. This article, dedicated to fulfilling Professor Kasser’s assignment, is the editio princeps of PB XLII. Acquisition According to Kasser, P. Bodmer XLII was not part of the larger Bodmer find but was acquired later and was “… clearly distinct in origin from the Bodmer papyri proper.”2 James Robinson may have had this state‑ ment of Kasser in mind when he wrote, “There may be some unstated reason to assume [PB XLII] is not part of the Dishna discovery.”3 My own search through all the available records of the Martin Bodmer Founda‑ tion revealed no direct information about the acquisition of the manuscript, and no one currently associated with the Foundation has any knowledge of when it was acquired.4 A laser-printed document offered the intriguing heading, “BASE pour liste plus détaillée du 11.10.1971.” 1 SMR = S(chmitz)-M(ink)-R(ichter) database of the Coptic New Testament manu‑ scripts (http://intf.uni-muenster.de/smr/). 2 Kasser, “Introduction” note 5 p.

On page 15, however, Robinson wrote: “The presumably minor residue of still further materials at the Bibliothèque Bodmer from the same discovery … [emphasis added]” and then goes on to include PB XLII in a list of unpublished papyri.

    The Bodmer and Mississippi Collection of Biblical and Christian Texts Kilpatrick, George D Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1963; 4, 1; ProQuest pg. 33 The Bodmer and Mississippi Collection of Biblical and Christian Texts George D. Kilpatrick T IS NOWADAYS a temptation in offering a paper on Biblicalarch­ I aeology to deal with some aspects of the discoveries at the Dead Sea sites. I am, however, going to resist this temptation and shall discuss another group of discoveries which would have attracted more attention had the Dead Sea finds not stolen much of the limelight.1 Biblical scholars have, none the less, heard something of the important Greek and Coptic papyri in the collection belonging to Dr. Martin Bodmer at Geneva, Switzerland, and have been able to study the published transcripts of some of these texts. Not all of them have been aware that large parts of two Coptic manuscripts belonging to the same find are to be found in another collection at the University of Mississippi. 2 It is the purpose of this paper to deter­ mine what can be divined about the history and importance of these texts from antiquity. Some ten years ago we first heard rumours of the discovery of a number of important Greek papyri which had found a home in Dr. Bodmer's collection. Gradually information became more precise and a picture of the nature of this collection appeared before our eyes. A few years afterward we began to hear of another collection acquired late in 1955 at the University of Mississippi. One Inanuscript is divided between the Mississippi and the Bodmer Collections; there is good reason for thinking that the two Mississippi codices and the bulk of the Bodmer manuscripts come from the same find.
