The following list of manuscripts is based on the work of Elzbieta Temple who listed in chronological order every known illuminated manuscript from 900 – 1066AD (TEMPLE 1976). Each manuscript below is shown with its corresponding Temple number to aid in referencing.
Two good sources for complete facsimiles are Ohlgren’s ‘Anglo-Saxon Textual Illustration’ and Budny’s ‘Insular, Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art at Corpus Christi College Cambridge’. Ohlgren’s book includes 16 complete manuscripts along with a description of every illustration and a reference index. (OHLGREN 1992). Budny’s two volume work does something similar but only for manuscripts from Cambridge (BUDNY 1997).
