Richard Kay : Pontificalia: A Repertory of Latin Manuscript Pontificals & Benedictionals

Pontificalia : A Repertory of Latin Manuscript Pontificals & Benedictionals (296 pages), compiled by Richard Kay, is permanently available for consultation online [Link pdf]
The main catalogue identifies 1249 manuscripts, with a summary description of each one–including contents, place and date of origin, destinary, decoration, music, owners, and size–together with a bibliography. In addition, three appendices list : relevant manuscripts the present location of which is unknown ; manuscripts that for some reason have been excluded from this catalogue ; and printed editions of pontificals and benedictionals. Although much further research is required to achieve an exhaustive census of these manuscripts, the present provisional compilation should ease the way for others.
