Categories for manuscripts by region
From Clavis Canonum
List of categories
If you want to place a manuscript in a category indicating the place of origin, please use the list below as a guide. It is essentially the same also used for the collections; have a look at Categories for collections by region for a map.
Every manuscript should be in one and only one category; choose the most specific one possible. The category pages (e.g. Category:Manuscript from Northern France will show you which collections are already in the category. Use the text highlighted in gray (e.g. [[Category:Manuscript from Western France]]
) for copy&paste.
