The municipal library in Arras is currently called Médiathèque de l'Abbaye Saint-Vaast; for the short titles in this Wiki, we retain the traditional name Bibliothèque Municipale or BM for short. Its medieval manuscripts are part of the fonds ancien.
Manuscripts held by the BM Arras are cited by the shelfmark only ("Arras, BM, 7"), by CGM number only ("Arras, BM, 16"), or a combination of the two like "7 (16)" and "16 (7)". To avoid any confusion resulting from this practice, Arras manuscripts on this Wiki have a lemma in the form Arras, BM, 7 (CGM 16).
According to ARCA, a very substantial part of the fonds ancien is digitized (as of November 2024, a search results in 997 hits, the largest number of which are medieval codices).
Note that the CCFr (searchable via Base patrimoniale) seems not to find the digitized medieval manuscripts; instead, there are a number of modern documents misdated to the Middle Ages. For example, a set of issues of the Cahiers d'action religieuse et sociale are dated to 1136.
There are 25 articles on this Wiki on manuscripts which are held by Arras, BM; see Category:Manuscript in Arras, BM.
