English summary: The project aims at compiling and publishing all Latin and German inscriptions of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period until 1650. Geographically, the collection currently covers Germany and Austria as well as South Tyrol. The findings are published in the DI volumes. Each volume comprises the inscriptions from one or several urban or rural districts or from a single city, issuing even smaller complexes separately in cities with particularly large numbers of inscriptions. The series includes both preserved original inscriptions and those which survive only as copies. Die Deutschen Inschriften is by far the oldest current project aiming at the compilation of medieval and early modern inscriptions. It was founded over 75 years ago as a joint project of the German and Austrian Academies of Sciences and Humanities on the initiative of the Germanist Friedrich Panzer (Heidelberg) with substantial cooperation from the historians Karl Brandi (Gottingen) and Hans Hirsch (Vienna). German description: Der Band prasentiert in ca. 260 Katalognummern die mittelalterlichen und fruhneuzeitlichen Inschriften der Stadt Xanten in ihren heutigen Grenzen. Der ganz uberwiegende Teil des vielfaltigen Bestandes steht in Verbindung mit dem Kanonikerstift St. Viktor und seiner Kirche. Dazu gehoren Inschriften auf Reliquiaren, liturgischen Gefassen oder den zahlreichen Textilien des Kirchenschatzes ebenso wie solche auf Altaren, Glasfenstern und Glocken. Inschriften an Turen, Chorschranken und anderen Baugliedern geben einen Eindruck von baulichen Erweiterungen und Veranderungen des Domes und der Kanonikerkurien. Einzigartig ist der Bestand von uber 40 Epitaphien des 15. bis 17. Jahrhunderts im Kreuzgang, die neben szenischen Darstellungen auch sprachlich anspruchsvolle und technisch hochwertig gearbeitete Inschriften tragen. Desweiteren enthalt die Edition die Inschriften der ersten evangelischen Kirche in Xanten, der Pfarrkirchen in Wardt und Vynen sowie der im 15. Jahrhundert errichteten Wallfahrtskirche Marienbaum.
