The main library of the city of Chartres housing the medieval manuscripts, or what is left of them, since 2007 is called the Médiathèque l'Apostrophe. The Wiki retains the traditional abbreviation as BM for the lemmata of all manuscript articles.
The Bibliothèque municipale of Chartres in 1944 was largely destroyed after an airraid on the city. Many of the more than 500 medieval manuscripts once in the municipal library were lost forever. However, fragments of some 300 codices were preserved by the IRHT. More recently, a large project aimed at the reconstruction of the lost manuscripts, including the digitization of all the fragments (https://chartres.irht.cnrs.fr/fr).
Note that the Chartres manuscripts are almost always cited by the numbers of the 1890 catalogue. For example, Chartres, BM, 161 is cited as "161 (154)" not only by CGM (here) but also by the IRHT (here, here and here); often, the CGM number alone is used. The CCFr (here) cites it as "No 161", with 154 as "autre cote"; Biblissima has it as "Ms. 161" with a "161 (154)" as alternative designation (here). The library homepage redirects to the the IRHT for its medieval manuscripts, but likewise uses the CGM numbers only to refer to its own manuscripts (here). The Clavis Wiki retains therefore uses the CGM numbers for the lemma of all Chartrain manuscripts.
There are 7 manuscripts in this Wiki which are held by Chartres, BM; see Category:Manuscript in Chartres, BM.
