-
A list of musical and Latin-liturgical manuscripts that exist and are available to the student of Music or Liturgies. The implied purpose of the list is to begin to shed light on collections that are not well known. Useful to the serious student of medieval music and liturgy.
-
A list of musical and Latin-liturgical manuscripts in the collections of Lambeth Library, Oxford's Bodleian Library, and in the College Libraries of the University of Oxford and Cambridge. Also includes collections in Dublin and a few other collections in Great Britain and Ireland. Excludes manuscripts in the British Museum because they are the most easily accessible and are already fairly well known to students.
-
Arranged by collection. Smaller college libraries associated with larger universities (such as Oxford or Cambridge) are grouped together. Within a collection, four main headings are given. The first three headings cover liturgical books arranged according to 1) the Divine Office, 2) the Mass, and 3) the Occasional Offices. The fourth heading covers non-liturgical books (usually secular part-music or treatises on music.) A summary list of manuscripts for private use is given at the end of each collection. Thirteen manuscript facsimiles, representing the principal classes of English Service books are provided at the end. Indexes can be found at the end of the second volume- they include a general index of service books, and index of places, an index of persons, an index to the Bodleian manuscripts, and an index to the manuscripts of the Cambridge University Library.
-
Because the author considered the work of the first volume incomplete, he omitted a table of contents.
