Parker Library on the Web

Parker Library on the Web is a digitized collection of handwritten books from the Parker Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University. The collection includes books from the 6^th through the 16^th centuries. Texts are mostly in Latin, Anglo-Saxon or English. The Parker Library collection, assembled by Archbishop Matthew Parker in the late 16^th 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.
