Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in Special Collections

Abstract

Special Collections maintains a small collection of European manuscripts intended to demonstrate the physical characteristics of the manuscript books, both before and in parallel to the development of printing. Extended descriptions of some of the manuscripts are available in PDF. Many of the materials have been digitized and are available at the Digital Scriptorium (https://digital-scriptorium.org/), a consortium of American libraries and museums providing online access to their collections of pre-modern manuscripts.
