COMPLETION OF THE CATALOGUE

Online entries now exist for all items in the main 'Mus.' sequence. A few interim entries will be expanded in the coming months; some older entries will be revised to bring them into line with more recent entries; and more links between pages will be created; but in essence the catalogue is complete.

It is now possible for the first time to browse through the entire sequence of items that have 'Mus.' call-numbers. To do this, select 'Browse' at the top of the page; in the 'Shelfmark' field, type 'Mus. 1', and choose 'Browse'; then scroll through the sequence.

CITING ITEMS IN THE 'MUS.' SEQUENCE

Please note that the online catalogue always gives full and correct call-numbers for items, including manuscripts shelved in the 'Mus.' sequence. Thus the manuscript shelved as Mus. 2 should correctly be cited only as 'Mus. 2'. Expansions such as 'MS Mus. 2' or 'Mus. MS 2' are incorrect.

17th-CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS OF ITALIAN CANTATAS

A list is now available of Christ Church's holdings of Italian cantatas and arias. These entries have been created with the generous assistance of Margaret Murata, Alessio Ruffatti and Michael Talbot.
