List of manuscripts
This site documents all known manuscripts of all collections covered in the Clavis Wiki. Currently, it covers the pre-Gratian collections only but is complete in the sense that all manuscripts mentioned in any of the following works are included:
- A list of all manuscripts mentioned in the 2005 Clavis canonum handbook, created semi-automatically from the manuscript index of that book. See List of manuscripts in Fowler-Magerl for the list of these manuscripts
- A similar list was created based on the mss index of Kéry's 1999 manual. As the complete list (over 1300 mss) seemed to create issues, it was split into four lists, for which see here (Admont to Huesca, 286 mss), here (Ivrea to Palermo, 324 mss), here (Paris to Valère, 397 mss), and here (Vatican to Zwettl, 303 mss).
- Another, shorter list covers the manuscripts which Elliot based his transcriptions on; for the list, see here
Note that the individual lists may differ in how they cite some manuscripts; only the complete list has been standardized (spelling of place names, library names, shelfmarks). Considerable efforts have been taken to delete doublets. As far as possible, erroneous references have been corrected.
The aim is that every manuscript will have its own description as part of this Clavis Wiki. In the long run, therefore, the Category:Manuscript effectively will replace this list.
As lists with more than 1000 items seem to create issues, the complete list was also broken down in four lists. All in all, more than 1500 manuscripts are listed, mostly extant codices but also a small number of lost manuscripts, fragments, and multi-volume manuscripts.
