This is a guide for Dutch Language and Literature

The Taylor Institution Library houses a small Dutch Collection, including literature, reference works and Middle Dutch manuscript editions. The Taylorian and the Bodleian have older printed works dating back to the time of the rich printing tradition in the Low Countries. Dutch medieval manuscripts may be found in the Bodleian Library, more specifically in the Collection Marshall and the Collection Junius.
