Remarks: The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts aims to make available accurate data on medieval manuscript books produced before 1600 in order to facilitate research for scholars, collectors, and others interested in manuscript studies and the provenance history of these unique books. Drawn from auction and sales catalogues, inventories, catalogues from institutional and private collections, and other sources that document sales and locations of manuscript books, the records assist in locating and identifying particular manuscripts, establishing provenance, and aggregating descriptive information about specific classes or types of manuscripts. Every effort is made to match records so that the trail of ownership of a given manuscript can be traced from the earliest recorded ownership to the present day.
