In the shelfmark group "Autogr." mainly correspondence from the 16th - 19th centuries is kept. The old stock of autographs from the manuscript collection from 1828, as well as new aquisitions from 1982 onwards, can be accessed via the Catalogue Quicksearch (e.g. 'Autogr. 425/43-1'). Literary legacies, modern manuscripts and other documents are partly listed as single records, but partly also only in the form of collective records in the shelfmark group Codices Series nova (e.g. 'Cod. Ser. n. 37631').
