Excerpt from A Register of Middle English Religious and Didactic Verse, Vol. 1: List of Manuscripts
The order which has been followed in the List of Manuscripts needs no explanation except, perhaps, in the case of the Bodleian mss. Persons accustomed to the designation of these manuscripts according to their numbers in the several collections, Laud, Ashmole, Rawlinson, etc. May at first be disconcerted to find them here arranged according to their order in the Summary Catalogue. The adoption of the Summary Catalogue numbers was, however, inevitable, since these alone afford a general series embracing the whole of the Bodleian mss and since any system based upon the multitude of special collections would have resulted in an arrangement highly complicated and con fusing. With the publication of the earlier volumes of the Summary Catalogue, which may shortly be expected, these numbers will probably come to be used more and more in place of the others. In the Register the Summary Catalogue number is directly followed in each instance by the number assigned to the manuscript in the special collection to which it belongs, in order to facilitate identification with references found elsewhere.
