This is a proof of concept and is therefore provided as-is. It is intended as a discovery tool which lets you search items in manuscripts, or to be more precise, items in the tables of contents that have been made available as part of our entries about manuscripts. Being able to do so was thought useful and important in part because many texts await proper identification in the database (or even in scholarship) and in part because there is more to manuscripts than simply the texts they preserve.

Category
Some categories which may help you locate relevant items. Note that the choice of labels is in need of revision and what there is may not always have been applied consistently. This feature was adopted relatively late in the process as a result of which labels are frequently absent. You may have more luck trying out keywords instead.
