from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marianne Bockelkamp (born April 18, 1925 in Essen , † December 19, 2011 in Paris ) was a German specialist in German studies , edition scholar , paper historian and watermark researcher who spent almost 50 years of her life in Paris.

Life

After graduating from the Viktoria-Gymnasium in Essen, Bockelkamp studied German in Kiel during the last years of the war . In 1946 she continued her studies in Frankfurt am Main . A scholarship enabled him to study abroad at the University of Pisa in 1948 . A serious illness forced her to take a break of several years, then she was able to continue her studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and finish with a doctorate on Goethe's Cellini translation.

After working for the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft in Essen, Bockelkamp moved to Bordeaux and then to the École normal supérieure (Paris) . Finally, there was close collaboration with the French Heinrich Heine specialist Louis Hay, the founder and director of the ITEM (l'Institut des textes et manuscrits moderne), which had emerged from the CAM (Center d'Analyse des Manuscrits) and operates as an institution of the Center national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in the rooms of the École normal supérieure .

The main focus of activity was on manuscripts by Heinrich Heine, which the Bibliothèque nationale de France acquired in 1966 from the estate of the publisher Salman Schocken . The insights gained during the scientific edition led Bockelkamp to tackle the foundations of analytical manuscript research ( Codicologie des manuscritsmodern ) based on the analytical print research developed by Martin Boghardt (1936–1998) . The philological evaluation of the text transmission should be supported by the analysis of the material manuscript evidence. In a first level of description, attention is paid to the writing material paper , whereby format , paper color, paper thickness, screen features and watermarks , but also blind stamps play a role. Pencils , inks and pens are recorded as characteristic writing materials . Third, the scribe , writing and writing style are examined.

When it came to Heinrich Heine's manuscripts, Bockelkamp was dealing with papers from a transitional period. To a large extent, it is still hand-made paper, but on the other hand, machine-made products also appeared in the times of early industrialization. The fundamental considerations and methodological approaches were therefore quickly taken up by other manuscript experts.

Marianne Bockelkamp was buried in the Junkersdorf cemetery in Cologne .
