617-536-5400 - The New York Public Library Renaissance and Medieval Manuscripts Online CollectionThe New York Public Library possesses one of the largest and finest collections of medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts in North America, yet its manuscript holdings are scarcely known to scholars, much less to a wide public audience. Medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts are vehicles of the collective memory of western European culture, and provide a material connection between the scribes, illuminators, and patrons who produced these works and the audiences who view them today.The works represent diverse genres, from Bibles and missals to romance literature and science texts. Dating from the turn of the 10th century until well into the period of the Renaissance, these works give vivid testimony to the creative impulses of the often nameless craftsmen who continually discovered new ways of animating the contents of hand-produced books through inventive and sometimes exuberant manipulations of all the elements of the book: form and format, layout, script, decoration, illustration, and binding.
- The Huntington Library - Medieval Manuscripts CollectionThe Huntington possesses one of the largest collections of British medieval manuscripts in the Western hemisphere. The majority of the Library's medieval holdings were produced in England or in Europe for the English market. They include nearly 500 bound volumes of literary, historical, and religious materials, which contain about 2,000 separate texts. There are 55 Middle English volumes (1250–1500) of prose and verse, most celebrated among these being the Ellesmere Chaucer, the Towneley Plays and Chester Plays, two autograph volumes of Thomas Hoccleve's poetry, and the Stafford Gower.1151 Oxford Road
