I am currently working on a library guide that includes a handlist of some 400 manuscripts at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library that are dated to 1600 or earlier: “Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts: Pre-1600 Manuscripts at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.”

The short descriptions in the handlist are created based on my first-hand examination of manuscripts and related accession materials and legacy records at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.

As this work develops during 2022, I have also been cataloguing a select number of manuscripts in detail.
