The HMML Manuscript Database
The HMML manuscript database contains information on over 95,000 codices and over 250,000 texts (works) in the collection. New records are added frequently. As a work in progress there are errata and potentially inaccurate entries. HMML welcomes corrections from users. Include the source number and the name of the field that needs correction and send to HMML. We recommend reading Tips for Searching the Catalogue before you start.

This is a new, upgraded search system for 2008.
