Bodleian Library Western Manuscripts to c.1500
 |
The University of Oxford's Department of Special Collections and Western Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library hosts and administrates the pre-c. 1500 western manuscripts. Since the 'c. 1500' date is an arbitary dividing-line, these pages encompass many post-c. 1500 items which are nonetheless medieval/renaissance in character, such as 16th century illuminated and liturgical manuscripts, pre-dissolution English monastic works; etc. There will inevitably be areas of overlap between these web pages and those covering the period from c. 1500 onward. |
