The index follows the St John's classmark sequence arranged alphabetically, and the following navigation bar operates using these classmarks. The initial number in brackets for each entry is the number given to each manuscript by M.R. James's Descriptive catalogue of the manuscripts in the Library of St John's College, Cambridge, however please cite the St John's classmark to avoid ambiguity.
For details of our post-medieval musical manuscripts please consult the entry for St John's College Library, Cambridge on RISM: Répertoire International des Sources Musicales.
