An Leabhar Breac (compilation) - Dublin, Royal Irish Academy MS 23 p 16 (270 pages) early 15th century |

Compiled from J.J.G. Alexander's Insular Manuscripts: 6th - 9th Century, London: Harvey Miller, 1978 (with a few dates revised from current scholarship) and supplemented with Additional Manuscripts of Interest,including psalters and Carolingian manuscripts. * Note: When I first compiled this list in 2010, about five manuscripts were available, the majority from e-codices. With this current list, twelve years later, well over fifty are available. Archivists, librarians, imaging specialists, and scholars have made impressive strides in digitizing and making accessible this wealth of medieval culture, its knowledge and wonder. |
