Back to: Home > Archives & Manuscripts > Ancient MSS Mynors Catalogue nos. 1 - 50 This summary listing of all of Balliol's pre-1600 manuscripts and a few of later date is drawn from the full catalogue by Sir Roger Mynors: Catalogue of the Manuscripts of Balliol College Oxford, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963. We are now able to make the full catalogue available online - Balliol thanks Oxford University Press for making this possible. The online version will be added to, corrected and updated here. Click here to make enquiries to the archivist about Balliol's manuscripts or to make appointments to consult them - and please share new bibliography/citations. Images - Digital images of the college's manuscripts are placed online as they are created, usually on demand. Images are linked to from individual entries on these catalogue pages. The digitisation programme is shaped by researchers' requests rather than e.g. starting with MS 1, so if you require images for your research from a manuscript only partially photographed or not yet represented in the Flickr collection, please get in touch to have it added to the 'to-do' list. March 2014: the descriptor [good/fair/poor/unusable] in square brackets following a manuscript's title indicates its current physical condition as assessed by Oxford Conservation Consortium in January-July 2014. Those in poor condition will not normally be produced for researchers, and those rated unusable not at all, until conservation treatment has been carried out in order to prevent further damage during consultation. Poor or unusable manuscripts may also not be fit to phorograph safely, including by staff. If you do want to consult or request images from a manuscript that is not currently in a state to produce or photograph safely, please let us know - active research interest is of course a key factor in determining our conservation priorities. * of the two discarded pressmarks given for each volume, the first is its number in Thomas James' Ecloga of 1600, the second from Edward Bernard's Catalogus Manuscriptorum Angliae (1697). 1.
