Manuscripts

The list of manuscripts containing Bede’s De locis sanctis is extracted from:

It has been revised according to current norms and updated, with direct links to the document’s description or at least the catalogue page. For his edition, Geyer (1898) used M, Mi, P, W ; Fraipont (1975) added to these four the following manuscripts: B, L, N. In order to correct these editions, we have been able to transcribe fully: L, Li, M, N, P, W. We will keep on adding new manuscripts in the future, in order to offer a fuller apparatus, and maybe a clearer stemma than the grouping proposed by Geyer in his introduction.
