England
Website
This website is a portal to worldwide collections of medieval polyphonic music manuscripts (the resource does not include plainchant). The music and the manuscripts date from approx 800 to 1550, and the original documents are kept in libraries and archives around the globe. This website includes detailed information for all the known sources of European polyphonic music (which is almost entirely vocal) and high-quality colour images of some manuscripts. Not all manuscripts have been digitized, and even where digital images are available we do not always have permission from the owners to deliver their images. We are working to expand the online image collection, and will announce new acquisitions on our News page.
