Medieval and Sixteenth-Century Manuscripts

The following is an index of all the medieval and early modern manuscripts (up to 1600 A.D.) held in the Old Library. The majority were described by M. R. James in his A descriptive catalogue of the manuscripts in the Library of Trinity Hall (Cambridge University Press, 1907). As a result of Trinity Hall’s Old Library Manuscripts Cataloguing Project, supplementary descriptions have been added to some of James’s descriptions. Also listed here are some medieval manuscripts which were not catalogued by James and which have been recently catalogued as part of the Old Library Manuscripts Cataloguing Project.
