- Description
- A full-image database of the handwritten books of the Parker Library, Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge University. The database includes books from the sixth through the sixteenth
centuries. Texts represented are mostly in Latin, Anglo-Saxon or English. The
collection, assembled by Archbishop Matthew Parker in the late sixteenth century includes texts on
religious history from the early Middle Ages through the Reformation. The Parker Library is
particularly rich in texts from Anglo-Saxon England, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
(c. 890), and texts in Middle English, including Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. A
small number of brittle manuscripts were not digitized.
