About Famous Books
The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek is one of the biggest and most important universal libraries worldwide. Its vaults accommodate some of the most precious and world-famous works of mankind’s written cultural heritage.
The app "Famous Books. Treasures of the Bavarian State Library” presents an exquisite selection of these holdings: 52 splendid manuscripts, unique incunabula and rare, precious printed works from the Occident and the Orient
Only very rarely can the public view the physical manifestations of these treasures in exhibitions. The brilliant, complete digital copies of the exhibits - formatted for presentation on iPad and iPhone - provide a fascinating insight into the treasures held by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.
Users can browse through and freely zoom into the manuscripts and printed works from the first to the last page. Among the exhibits are, for example, the manuscript A of the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), the eight volumes of the Ottheinrich Bible, an edition of each the Gutenberg Bible and the World Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, the Babylonian Talmud and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s epic poem Parzival.

- Optimized for better viewing experience (digital objects available at higher resolution, 300 dpi)
- Improved ordering principle: Titles within a category are listed in chronological order
- Updated imprint and data privacy statement
- Corrected bibliographic data
- Bug fixes

Substantial performance improvements
Completely rewritten memory management; turning pages is as quick as it was in iOS 3.
Caching System
All pages loaded by the app in the past are now stored in the cache, creating a local repository of files, which allows faster turning of pages of already displayed books as well as reading them offline. You can adjust the size of your cache in the new settings menu.
Bandwidth auto detection
We provide from now on a low quality and a high quality version of every page. What you'll get depends on your internet connection. When you're on GSM or 3G we give you by default the lowres version, so it loads much faster, when you're on Wi-Fi you'll get highres. You can change this setting in the settings menu to force lowres or highres.
Social Media Connection
Via Twitter and Facebook interfaces you can recommend books and write comments about the App.
Book sizes added
Sizes of individual books are specified (indication of size in centimetres).
Multitasking support
All buttons and graphics are now optimized for the Retina display of iPhone4.
