The present catalogue is the third such to be produced in Great Britain, and follows the format of its predecessors, the Catalagues for the British Library and for Oxford Libraries. It contains 394 short descriptive entries of manuscripts ranging in date from c.737 to 1599, each entry illustrated by an actual-size plate of the manuscript. Each entry includes up-to-date bibliographical references. The Cataloguealso contains an Introduction which discusses among other things reckonings of time used by medieval scribes and problems encountered in dating manuscripts.
