From 1986 to 1988 optical spectroscopy near minimum of all then established recurrent novae (excluding recurrent X-ray novae such as V616 Mon and V404 Cyg) was carried out with the 3.6 m and 1.5 m telescopes of ESO, using EFOSC with CCD and the Cassegrain spectrograph with CCD or IDS, respectively. Flux-calibrated spectra of the six objects are shown in Figs, 1a – f. The most recent recurrent nova, V745 Sco, is included in the present discussion, because 1 month after outburst it had already reached a very late stage of outburst evolution. A spectrum of V745 Sco is shown in Schwarz et al. (1989).
