Warning

The general index of (non-)dated manuscripts contains the class marks of the manuscripts as these are mentioned in the publication Scriptorium and in the Bulletin codicologique. These class marks have been submitted to a generalised verification and standardisation process. This index does not pretend to provide data on the manuscripts' origins or lineage nor on the possible update of its class marks. Its first aim is to itemise and bring together the bibliographical mentions coming from Scriptorium and/or the Bulletin codicologique and relating to the manuscripts the reader is looking for.
