Groups of Collections

Some collections are so closely related that scholarship has treated them together; there are a handful of categories for precisely this purpose, see Category:Collections by group. Well-known examples are the collection of Anselm of Lucca, the Dionysiana, and all the Burchard-derivative collections.

Manuscripts

For manuscripts, like collections, a set of categories exists to group them by time and place of origin, content etc. See Category:Manuscripts.

Digitized Manuscripts

See the relevant category: Category:Digitized Manuscript
