Synopsis

The four volumes of Neil Ker's Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries were published by Oxford University Press between 1969 and 1992. They comprise a catalogue of about 3,000 manuscripts in Latin and Western European vernaculars in hitherto uncatalogued or inadequately catalogued institutional collections in the United Kingdom and form a major research tool for humanist scholars. The index volume, produced under the direction of A. G. Watson, a former pupil of Ker's and now his literary executor, and I. C. Cunningham, formerly Keeper of Manuscripts in the National Library of Scotland, provides a variety of indexes, including authors/titles; owners; geographical origins and dates of manuscripts; vernacular manuscripts; Latin and vernacular incipits; manuscripts cited; repertories cited; and iconography. There are also lists of recent accessions to libraries and of manuscripts that have migrated from one institution to another.

Revue de presse

Ker's meticulous attentiveness to manuscript detail has now been mapped for us with an equal opulence ... Ker has been extremely well served; the indexers have done well and made a fine volume user-friendly for all of us. (Medium Aevum)

... superb thoroughness of the indexing. (The Library)

... a set of indexes which does full justice to Ker's accumulated experience and knowledge. (The Library)

... a remarkable achievement of scholarship ... The descriptions of the manuscripts are full and at the same time admirably concise ... Any user of the work, whether his interests are palaeographical, iconographical, or textual, will be deeply grateful for the wealth of information contained in this volume. (Review of English Studies)

... an outstanding monument of British scholarship ... No one working in the manuscript field needs now to be convinced of he value of MMBL, nor of the authority of Ker's words on any manuscript which passed through his hands. (Times Literary Supplement)
