Watermarks
are important for dating and identifying of manuscripts and documents on paper.
Nowadays, the investigation of watermarks is a common practice in codicology
and other research areas. This contribution presents the internet portal Bernstein – the Memory of Paper, a
powerful tool for the search of watermarks and, hence, the dating of undated
manuscripts. The portal is multilingual (English, French, German, Hungarian,
Italian, Russian, and Spanish) and allows the centralized, simultaneous search
in twenty distributed watermark databases containing more than 200,000
watermarks.
