Manuscript Studies
Medieval and Early Modern

Bibliography

Bibliography for Medieval and Early Modern Manuscript Studies

The bibliography contains some 1000 items, on various aspects within the scope of this course. While I have tried to ensure broad coverage, inevitably the bibliography, in its present form, reflects my medieval and my literary biases: I will welcome additions, corrections, and supplements.

The bibliography can be searched in two ways: it is divided into a number of sections, each of which constitutes a separate page, and each of the pages can be successively loaded by clicking on one of the subject heading listed here. Note, however, that titles are listed only once in the bibliography, even though they may be relevant to more than one subject. Thus it is also possible to search the entire bibliography by any keyword or keywords which you specify, and the keyword search engine is the final item in the following list.

• Some basic resources worth knowing
• General bibliography

• Literacy and education, medieval and early modern (readers and reading)
