The following list is based on the work of Stettiner [STETTINER 1895]. He breaks the manuscripts into 3 groups. Groups 1 and 2 run roughly chronologically to each other and must have come from a common model. Group 3 are from the C12th and C13th and show elements from both groups 1 and 2.<br>
<br>
The Catalogue number is broken into 3 parts:<br>
S = Stettiner catalogue number; [[T-M#T40T50|T40T50]] = Temple Anglo-Saxon catalogue number; (P<sup>1</sup>) = Original Stettiner number [STETTINER 1895]
