Abbey are here catalogued for the first time. The majority of the manuscripts are of the fifteenth century, but they range in date from the early twelfth to the late sixteenth century. The collection is particularly strong in dated and securely localized manuscripts, and amongst the famous patrons for whom they were originally made are the Medici of Florence, the Visconti of Milan, the Aragonese Kings of Naples, King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, and Popes Sixtus IV, Leo X and Julius II. Works signed by or attributable to some of the most important humanistic scribes are included, such as Piero Strozzi, Nicolaus Riccius Spinosus, Sigismondo dei Sigismondi, Pierantonio Sallando, Gioacchino de Gigantibus, Bartolomeo Sanvito, Fernando Ruano and the newly identified 'Jo. Nicolai de Confluentia'. In the illumination are to be found equally interesting examples of regional styles.

The manuscripts catalogued and described here form a particularly interesting series since about a third of them have colophons which give their date, the name of the scribe or the place of writing. A number of others have indications of their original owners. The majority are of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries and amongst the original owners are some of the great Renaissance patrons of learning and collectors of books, the Medici, the Visconti, the Aragonese kings of Naples, Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, Francesco Maria della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, Popes Sixtus IV, Julius II, Leo X and Cardinal Bessarion. Works signed by or attributable to some of the most important humanistic scribes are included, such as Piero Strozzi, Nicolaus Riccius Spinosus, Sigismondo dei Sigismondi, Pierantonio Sallando, Gioacchino de Gigantibus, Bartolomeo Sanvito, Fernando Ruano and Jo Nicolai de Confluentia.
