Categories for manuscripts by region

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, and normally contain a copy&paste ready category tag (in this case, [[Category:Manuscript from Northern France]]).
