These historical documents are now on loan from the current owners to Basel Historical Museum. They will be stored at Basel University Library, which will enable them to be used in teaching and research and eventually made accessible to the public. Records, prayer books and books of hours, literary, administrative and legal texts: in the 1960s, Italian industrialist and author Sion Segre Amar (1910-2003) acquired antique and medieval manuscripts at Sotheby's in London without any particular thematic criteria. Over the years, he collected a total of 212 manuscripts and manuscript fragments originating from the 6th to the 20th century, the majority of them from the late Middle Ages.
