Manuscript Road Trip
Medieval Manuscripts in the United States.
There has been increasing interest in recent years in identifying, classifying and cataloguing medieval manuscripts in North American collections. My friend and colleague Melissa Conway and I have been traveling and corresponding with curators and librarians all around the country since 1996, collecting data on the numbers and cataloguing status of pre-1600 manuscripts. In this blog, I’ll be taking readers on a (virtual) state-by-state tour of manuscripts in the lower 48 (I’ll get to Canada eventually, I promise!), focusing on less-well-known collections, some in very surprising locations.
