Western Manuscript

This catalogue is the pre-published version of A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in Roman Scripts of Christ Church, Oxford by Ralph Hanna, using materials collected by Jeremy J. Griffiths. The text will be published shortly by the Oxford Bibliographical Society as a conventional printed volume, with additional material not currently available on the website (including an historical introduction, indexes, etc.), and reproductions.

One of the main reasons for 'pre-publishing' the catalogue on the Web is to enable users to contribute addenda and corrigenda, to ensure that the printed version is as full and accurate as possible. Readers are strongly encouraged to contribute, and their help will be publicly acknowledged. For this, please get in touch with Cristina Neagu at Christ Church Library ( cristina.neagu@chch.ox.ac.uk). Also please contact the Library if you wish to re-use any text or images in any form.

Given the importance and high demand for materials from our collections, the Library's ultimate goal is to produce a unified fully searchable catalogue of all its manuscript collections. Users should be able to access information regarding specific manuscripts (if known), to browse a detailed glossary of terms and to perform simple keyword and date searches, as well as advanced searches based on combinations of selected field and image data. This is just the beginning.
