The Index of Middle English Prose, Handlist XI cover

Index of manuscripts in Middle English prose contained in the library of Trinity College The library of Trinity College, Cambridge, contains the largest collection of medieval manuscripts of any college in Great Britain, and one of the most important in the world. The subjects contained therein cover the whole range of topics usual to medieval manuscripts, although the majority were produced in Britain. Particularly noteworthy are Wycliffite translations of the Bible, sermons, and Wycliffite tracts, major collections of devotional texts and unique Middle English translations of classical and early medieval texts. Trinity is also rich in medieval scientific manuscripts, many of which came through Roger Gale's interest in this field. The collection also contains major compilations of alchemical tracts, and historical and legal material.
