Graubünden in Zurich – Graubünden manuscripts at the ZB

From the series ‘Manuscript on Saturday’

Allegra! Whether letters from the Chur reformer Johannes Comander, a notarial record from the Upper Engadine, hymns from the Surselva or copies of documents from the Bergell – the ZB holds Graubünden manuscripts in all three cantonal languages. We offer an insight into the diversity of Graubünden manuscripts in Zurich and explain how they came to be here.

The guided tour is free of charge. Places are limited – please register.


Visit here to the ‘Manuscript on Saturday’ overview with the annual programme.


For ZB events (guided tours, courses, lectures), audio aids (including induction loops for hearing aids) are available for people with hearing impairments. If required, please contact kommunikation@zb.uzh.ch.
