The following catalogues are known collectively as the 'Quarto' catalogues, because of their size. They are listed below in alphabetical order, omitting vols. VI-VIII which cover Oriental manuscripts.
The Quarto catalogues cover the manuscript collections:
Ashmole, Canonici, Digby, Greek Manuscript, Laud, Rawlinson and Tanner
They are written, variously, in Latin, Greek, Italian and English
The majority of these catalogues have been digitized. The digitized copies are available via SOLO (Oxford Libraries' Catalogue). You will find a link to the SOLO entry for each Quarto volume in the list below.
These catalogues are also all available on the open shelves in the special collections reading rooms.
Each catalogue has its own index. There is an amalgamated card index in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Reading Room covering all the volumes; please ask a member of staff on duty for assistance.
