Inventories of medieval library

Currently, six medieval inventories are known: 12th-13th centuries (Pistoia, Archivio Capitolare, C.155, f. 70r); 1372 (Pistoia, Archivio Vescovile, III.R.66.1, ff. 2r-3r); 1383 (Pistoia, Archivio Vescovile, III.R.66.2, pp. 3-5); 1432 (Pistoia, Archivio Capitolare, D.22, ff. 29r-30v); 1441 (Pistoia, Archivio Vescovile, III.R.66.3, ff. 4r-6r); and 1487-1497 (Pistoia, Archivio Capitolare, L.8, ff. 291v-293r). For information regarding the manuscripts that can be found in the registers of the Archivio Capitolare, see the guide offered by RICABIM (Repertori di inventari e cataloghi di biblioteche medievali dal secolo VI al 1520, Italia, Toscana,  243-257). Beyond noting the inventories of the Chapter library, this guide cites all documentary collections found (testaments, donations, bills of sale, expense accounts) that contain reference to a manuscript historically possessed by the Chapter.

In this section, it will be possible to view the actual inventories along with medieval documents in which manuscripts belonging to the Chapter are cited.
