Medieval Manuscripts

Manuscripts are described in David T. Gura, A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts of the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College (University of Notre Dame Press, 2016). This catalogue describes the manuscripts newly acquired and discovered, updates bibliographical information, and corrects the errors in previous descriptions.

The previous catalogue was James Corbett, Catalogue of the Medieval & Renaissance Manuscripts of the University of Notre Dame (University of Notre Dame Press, 1978). For a concordance of the former "Corbett Numbers" and those in perpetual use see below.
