Catalogue of tidal manuscripts

This catalogue lists the known tidal manuscripts. I have working transcripts of them.

There is only one catalogue. However, I present it in four different formats, according to how the information is ordered: collection order, in order of sender, in order of recipient, and date order. The large catalogue takes some time to load.

To know what can be found where, you should look in the document order catalogue. You may also locate the whole correspondence of any particular person by combining a search under both the from and to order catalogues. The date catalogue is arranged in ascending order. The head of each arrangement contains several documents which varyingly have omissions of from, to and date, but which do have tides as a subject.

Further information on the repository holding a particular document can be found in the source list.
